The Ileostomy Nutrition Handbook cover
An ileostomy is not a colostomy — and the nutrition is not the same. High-output management, electrolyte correction, and the St Mark's solution protocol your surgical team relies on.

Who it's for

Colorectal-surgical dietitians, IBD teams, stoma-specialist dietitians, ICU/post-op dietitians, home-PN coordinators (short bowel risk), and community dietitians.

What's inside

Clinical Guide — anatomy and physiology of an ileostomy, expected output vs high-output definitions, the high-output stoma (HOS) algorithm, St Mark's oral rehydration solution, loperamide and codeine management, phased food reintroduction, sodium and magnesium focus, foods that thicken vs loosen output, fibre rules, blockage risk foods, short bowel syndrome overlap, J-pouch and IRA considerations, long-term nutrition and B12, reversal preparation.

Patient Handout Pack — 12 handouts: the first 6 weeks, food reintroduction ladder, high-output action plan, St Mark's solution recipe, blockage warning signs, hydration plan, dining out with an ileostomy, travel with an ileostomy, electrolyte-rich foods, IBD flare and the ileostomy, magnesium sources, and shopping list.
