I am not sure what xls is but As in most diet pills, they easily cause constipation. Might be a good thing when having watery output! Lol if it is over the counter, I would definitely check with my Doctor. 

i have used Phentermine in the past,  a prescription medication and my doctor is fine with me using it. I have a Colostomy. Has not caused me any issues in the past. It is not a drug for long term use but to help change eating habits. 

Good luck. It is hard to lose weight with an Ostomy. What is good for output is not good for weight and vice versa!

No I haven't but would check with Dr/stoma nurse first to see if they say it's ok.

Maybe worth keeping a food diary too to see what your eating & drinking
