My doctor who performed my surgery had told me to stay away from all vegetables and fruit. I only eat potatoes for a vegetable and after reading guidelines from all of you all seem to eat vegetables and fruit also some eat salads, I have been so afraid to do this and just wonder if I should try vegetables and fruit without skin? I once ate sweet potatoes years ago and it blocked me up, had to go to the hospital. Have had reversals several times, once had a blood clot and had to revert to a bag for a year, and once the surgery was not my own surgeon but a doctor on call who I needed to be operated again that same week. I have gone through so much, lived on antibiotics for years, not been on antibiotics for over a month now on hyoscyamine that helps somewhat but still get lots of gas and frequent bowel movements. Have been through hell and back ever since having my surgery several years ago, never want bag back again, it was so hard for me to handle, get burning rectum and acid no matter what I eat. I am 71 years old. I think this group is so wonderful. every one seems to help each other. Thanks so much.
