Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about seeking feedback from individuals who have an ileostomy and are using Lomotil to manage frequent output. The original poster is looking for advice and experiences from others who have used Lomotil for the same purpose.

Advice and Insights:
- Consider discussing with the doctor about alternative medications like DTO (distilled tincture of opium) if Lomotil does not produce good results.
- If Lomotil does not work effectively, increasing the dosage or combining it with other drugs like Amodium could be an option.
- Be cautious about the potential risk of dehydration due to frequent output and consider escalating the treatment if necessary.
- The effectiveness of Lomotil can be influenced by the type of food consumed, with roughage generally increasing output and soft, non-bulk foods leading to a slower peristaltic wave and less output.
- Over time, individuals may learn what foods they can and cannot eat to manage the output with an ileostomy.
