This discussion revolves around managing high ostomy output for those dealing with Short Bowel Syndrome (SBS). The focus is on trying out new methods to help control this condition.

1. The first approach involves testing a new type of ostomy appliance. The person plans to try the D-Ostomy 2-piece flat, cut-to-fit barrier system from the UK. Although it doesn't have a convex option, they are eager to see how it performs over several days.

2. The second approach is about slowing down the output. Since getting insurance approval for Gattex has been challenging, they started using Esdifan, a mineral-based clay supplement. The initial results have been impressive, allowing them to stop taking large doses of Imodium and Lomotil. They are curious if others have tried this bag system or Esdifan.

Additional insights and advice from others include:

- The person will begin intravenous (IV) fluids soon and suggests that others with SBS consider trying Esdifan, describing it as a harmless clay with no apparent risks.

- Another individual with SBS shares their experience with a monthly Octreotide injection, which significantly reduced their output. They still use Imodium and avoid sugars to manage their condition.

- This same person had not heard of Esdifan before but is interested in exploring it further due to the positive feedback shared.
