Colostomy Bag and Fiber Question

Postby sustainli » Sun Nov 11, 2018 12:34 pm

After going WFPB a few months ago, someone told me they had '"a large bowel obstruction caused by an ischemic portion of his colon from an unknown injury 15 years ago'". He recently had surgery and will have a colostomy bag for 3 months. He's being told by his nutritionist to stay low fiber. He wants to stay WFPB throughout.

Question: Any dietary advice/resources/links for someone who eats WFPB with a temporary colostomy bag?

VeganOstomy website (canada) for vegan colostomy, seems to have some useful info. https://www.veganostomy.ca/

I spoke with Eric in the past when he was setting up his site. I would recommend you write him.
