I have just started to experiment with them and they seem to help stool conssistancy really well . a big thankyou to whoever. wrote about them. I had mycolostomy 1 year ago and thought it would be relstively easy to get used to.  until I had aleft side stroke. but things do seem to be getting better,My surgery too was the result of radiation treatment for colorectal cancer .

Hi Blueiis
It's the gelatin content in marshmallows, thats doing the job, it thickens the stool.
Myself I prefer Jelly Babies, still does the same job,

Thank you so much, bigal1579. I think I will wait awhile on the cherries and sauerkraut. LOL. I have gotten some good advice. Thanks to all that have replied. I sure am happy that I stumbled onto this website.

Will gelatin caps do the same thing?
