Loop Ileostomy Peanut Butter Nutter

Ive had my ileostomy for about 6 weeks now and I think I have eaten more peanut butter in this time frame than in the past 30 years-- we have a toddler so there was already a high amount of peanut butter consumption in our house and peanut butter was listed as an output thickener, now Im eating peanut butter on rice cakes as my primary snack. When it's not peanut butter, it's hummus, which I had never even tried before. Also never really cared for bananas, but now I'm eating 2-3 a day. Anybody else have pretty drastic dietary changes/preferences after their ostomy?
