Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and would really appreciate some tips on ileostomy high output.
I had an emergency operation 10 weeks ago on the 17th of March and woke up with a bag stuck to my stomach. My stoma nurses have prescribed me 48 mg of loperamide which I take daily 30 minutes before eating. The output is so inconsistent. I can empty the bag 20 times a day on a bad day and 3 or 4 times during the night, which just leaves me exhausted the next day and also makes me feel so low.
I would really appreciate some advice on good foods and drinks that will make the output more consistent?
Thanks, guys.
Matt
