Thank you for the reply. I agree that an ostomy is extreme but I feel like I am running out of options here! Food-wise just a few months back I was able to tollerate potatoes, carrots, cottage cheese and cornflakes but now they are definitely triggers. All I am able to eat is grilled turkey or chicken and steamed tuna, cod, haddock or salmon. All varieties of rice are okay too but this isn't much of a list. I am desperate to eat some form of fruit or veg again but guts-wise this is a real no-no. I am worried because in the long term eating no fruit or veg cannot be healthy and I think I must be setting myself up for other problems in the future.
My GP and dietician advised against the use of soluble fibre supplements (I was presribed psyllium) as they left me in agony. I'd be here all day if I listed the medications!!!
Herbal tea-wise I can tollerate ginger and peppermint. I'm just so desperate for a solution, I don't want to spend the rest of my life eating tuna and rice every day. I am missing out on so much but I don't know if my gastro will be sympathtic or if I'll just be wasting my time and upsetting myself even more. It's no fun being 22 with no mates and stuck indoors/near a toilet all the time!
Thanks for the advice though, I'm sure you are right because there must be people in a worse state than me.
