Wondering how those of you with pouches are doing with blueberries?

I felt a bit blocked and couldn't produce a decent stool. Put the rest of the blueberries in the freezer for the future. Really a pity because I adore blueberries.

Maybe it wasn't the blueberries. My poos are sort of capricious and do what they want, all different styles I can't connect to anything I ate.

Blueberries zip right through me. However, we are all different so what I may experience could be the opposite for you and vice versa.

eat them all the time with no problems.

It was eons ago that I had my temp colostomy but one day I had a small bowl full of fresh blueberries. My output dramatically picked up, my bag filled every 10 minutes or so and it was a dark, army green color. Took an hour or two for it all to settle down. Later I told my colon surgeon and he said to go very easy on fresh berries, of any kind. After that I stayed clear of them. I was fortunate to be home that afternoon, had I been running errands or driving my kids to and fro like I did back then, I would have had a burst bag and a mess on my hand. When I say the bag filled, I mean filled to the brim just about.

My advice is have a few and see what happens. I had about 1/2 to 3/4 cup and that was far too much.

I've been eating a lot of fresh blueberries this week. No issues so far. Output seems to be a thicker and very dark purple, but not sure if the thickness is from the blueberries or something else. I also ate sweet potato fries yesterday and seemed to see bits of them in my pouch this morning. Has anyone had issues with sweet potatoes?
