Topic Explanation:
The discussion focuses on managing high ileostomy output. The original poster has an ileostomy with consistently high output and is currently using Imodium as per their ostomy nurse's advice. They are seeking additional tips and personal experiences from others on how to manage or reduce this high output effectively.

Advice and Helpful Insights:
1. Dietary Adjustments:
- Incorporate foods that naturally thicken stool. Recommended foods include:
- Mashed potatoes, bananas, bread, bagels, applesauce, pudding, and peanut butter.
- Oatmeal raisin cookies and psyllium husk.
- Carrots and rice.
- It's suggested to eat these foods in small amounts every 2-3 hours and avoid drinking liquids during meals. Wait about 20 minutes after eating before drinking any liquids.
- Avoid foods that can liquify the output, such as chocolates.

2. Medication and Supplements:
- Continue using Imodium as prescribed.
- Some have found Metamucil (specifically in gummy form) helpful in slowing down the output.
- Note that some individuals might experience adverse effects with Imodium, as it can sometimes cause looser stools instead of its intended effect.

3. General Tips:
- Be patient and allow your body time to adjust. Managing ileostomy output effectively can involve trial and error to find what works best for you.
- Stay alert to body signals such as dizziness or fainting, which can be related to high output and may require adjustments in management strategies or further medical consultation.
