Here are Danielle and Kerri’s top 7 tips for new ostomates:

● Include lean, protein-rich foods with each meal and snack.
● Add new foods one at a time in small amounts and chew well.
● Slowly increase the amount of food you eat.
● Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate and avoid the use of straws.
● Prep supplies so you’ll be ready for the next pouch change or a leak
