I’m not sure “soothing” is a clear enough target to get useful suggestions. Most effective interventions are intended to treat specific issues, and they work best when those issues are well-defined. Most J-pouchers have perfectly average stomachs - plenty are normal, and some have the various issues that plague stomachs. Things get more complicated in the lower intestine. General issues that can most commonly challenge J-pouchers (who don’t have a diagnosed problem) are hydration, gas and stool consistency. Perhaps one or more of these are issues for you? Many folks find fiber (e.g. psyllium) to be overall helpful - it will bulk up stool but if used in reasonable doses it won’t cause constipation (heck, it’s used to treat constipation). You could start off slowly and see how it goes.

If you further clarify the problem(s) I think you’ll probably be offered more useful solutions.
