Transcript: There aren't many restrictions to the diet. You have to be cautious of certain foods such as peas, sweetcorn, raw onions (those foods that don't break down very well) as these can cause blockages. Also, foods containing spices or fizzy drinks can irritate the gut and make the output from the ileostomy looser, so it's best to try and avoid those foods especially in the early days following surgery.
