Hi wifey,

Sorry I do not have any personal experience with this Topic; however, if you enter "High Output Ileostomies" in the "Search Forum" box (an inch or so below the top left corner of this web page), you will find some information that may help you.

If you search in Google, you will also find a considerable amount of information; however, much of it requires reading doctors' research papers.

Hope you are able to find what you need to know,

I’m usually not one for “support groups” and loathe whatever the hell they call Facebook these days. 
This site has literally been a lifesaver because of its members, part support group, part dad jokes, part story telling, mostly friendship and if people don’t agree they just keep it to themselves. I honestly reminds me of the old days and just plain old polite society, it helps me more than I can explain. Thank you to everyone that allows me to engage with them and to all the members that help other members!

I have found two solutions to this problem, three if you count time.   One is to springle a little gelatin mix powder (pectin)  in your food.  Another prescription is prevalite powder that you can mix with food or drink.  I would add these both slowly if you are a new ostomate or have trouble with blockage.  I use them all the time to slow me down.  I also take 4 to 8 Imodium a day.  It is much cheaper to get a prescription if you have insurance than buy over counter.  Something else I recommend are bananas and slowly increasing fiber.
