Hi all,

It's been a while since I posted on here. To give some
background on myself. I have a permanent Ileostomy and in good health. I had an Ileostomy in 2002 due to UC and my J-pouch from 2005-2010. Without doubt my worst bout of illness was when I had my J-pouch, so I haven't looked back since I decided to get a permanent Ileostomy.

I am currently doing some training, light weights and running. Running distance is no more than 10KM. However I am looking to gain muscle mass but I am hesitant using protein products. To date I've had 7 ops in total and I don't want to jeopardise my current good health for the sake of putting on muscle.

Will using protein products cause issues for me? Should I look to make natural protein shakes?

Any advise/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I have found that certain soya based protien powders turn my output to a thick, gluey gunk that does not seem to want to empty properly (have a k pouch and have to intubate to remove it...it is yucky).
I would ask for samples from different manufacturers and see how each one works on you. I do better with Whey powder than anything else...there is also dried peanut butter that works nicely...nut butters are naturally full of high grade protiens and are easily absorbable.
