No not a stupid question far from it.....There are different stories about affect marshmallows have, I've even seen nurses laughing about it saying you would need to eat a truck load as the amount of gelatine in them is so minimal for them to have any effect, others swear they work.Â
I think eating them is more like having a comfort blanket myself, you can have loose output 1 minute the next it slows down or stops just by itself.
Personally when my output is loose I prefer eating a banana/apple.Â
1 question no one can ever give a real answer too is if I've just eaten a meal and want to change my bag and stoma is in full flow so then eat marshmallows (as many claim they do) how to do they by pass all the food I've eat to stop my stoma from being active and how long does it take them to work 5 minutes/5 hours, or did my output just firm up by itself Â
