If a person with an ileostomy has excessive loss of fluids, are there any foods that may help electrolyte balance?

Question 2

Are there any foods/nutrients that tend to cause diarrhea after the colon is removed?

Answer to Question 1

If Na and K are decreased d/t diarrhea, simply include foods high in K and add salt to the diet. Salt substitute or Lite-Salt would help if fruits and vegetables could not be tolerated.

Answer to Question 2

I have seen diets very high in fruit juice, liquids, caffeine, and concentrated sweets present problems for some individuals. These items should be eaten as tolerated.
