Chinese Food ????

Hi all! I am 6 weeks post op from my second of here surgeries - total colectomy January 2014, Jpouch creation October 2014 - takedown hopefully February 2014.
I am unusually craving Chinese food --- any suggestions? Experiences?? I simply want lo mein since I'm nervous about anything else ..
TIA

I think it would be fine, but chinese vegetables are notorious for causing obstructions, so avoid water chestnuts, bok choy, etc. Otherwise you're good to go.

What are you concerned about? Blockages, fast transit times, excess gas, burning from spices, pain?

It's just like with any food, there is only one way to find out. Try it and see what happens. Having any ostomy you need to make sure that you chew your food really well and drink lots of fluids. Chinese food did not bother me with my loop ileo, it went right through me really fast like everything else when I had that stupid loop ileo.

most blockages will fix themselves without the need for intervention. I had 3 blockages when I had an ostomy and they were from not chewing well enough and I ate walnuts one time. Salads and veggies weren't a problem for me. When I had a blockage I would drink coffee, juice or wine and that would really help clear the blockage.

I have an end ileo and got diarrhea last week from Chinese food....ugh.
