New to the Ileostomy world: Any tips?

Hello, I had my ileostomy for 3 months now after my cancer surgery. I am still learning, but banana powder, marshmallows and imodium is what I use to slow down my output. A specialized dietician is good to have. My biggest worry is ileostomy blockage so I am conservative in what I eat and how I add new things to my diet. Hope this helps.

I've had an illeostomy since Mar 23 and I eat anything I want with no problems. Just be sure and chew well.

@florip, great tips for a fellow newbie @lmiller116. Access to a specialized dietician is really helpful. Do you have regular consults?
