Somebody told me once to drink orange or grapefruit juice with lots of pulp. Of course, that was a guy from Florida……. Bet some dude from GA would have recommended peaches.
I'm from Wisconsin originally, and cheese always jams me up.
I heartily second the rice. It's soluble fiber and will give you a "clean slide" as will Metamucil or any other soluble fiber, IME. A clean bag is a happy bag.
My experience with bananas with an ileostomy was completely contrary to what you're trying to achieve. It dropped into the bag about 20 minutes after consuming it. I'm like, "Dude, I just ate you!"
