Hopefully help with thickening.

I have really got to share this, I had an emergency stoma fitted in February this year and I have had lots of trouble with the thickness because my stoma is so high and I have just found a couple of weeks ago when I was in hospital I was not happy with the food so I got a curry out of M&S and it thickened everything up. The family all laughed but now I’m out of hospital and I have had two prawn tikka masala and each time it has helped with the thickness 🤔🤪.

Please let me know if it helps anyone else???

By ‘thickness’ are you talking about the fecal output or the actual physical stoma?

I am happy for you, but would like to know just what is curry out of M&S and two prawn tikka masala, since I am having the same problem.

Marks and Spencer’s prawn tikka masala ready meals, just microwave follow the instructions. Good luck because I know different things help different people. Let us know if it helps 👍.

Thank you for the information. I didn't realize you were located in Europe, unfortunately, I live the the United States and I may be able to have these shipped to me. I have been searching for Marks and Spencer’s prawn tikka masala ready meals on the internet and unable to find their brand. I believe Whole Foods market has something similar made by another manufacturer. I'll keep searching. Again thank you for the information.

Hi I must admit when you didn’t know M&S I wondered, but my son lives in Massachusetts I will ask him and see if he knows. I know there is a shop called the English shop or you could goggle the recipe, but I will get back to you.Stay Safe All

No seemingly the USA doesn’t do curry in ready meals you have to go to a restaurant or cook yourself, you will enjoy cooking it with all the herbs and spices. Good luck and enjoy 🥘.
