I have to say Mashed Potatoes have been the best stool thickener then any meds I’ve tried.
I find homemade mashed potatoes, they have to be whipped, I use an immersion blender, to work the best, since I know exactly what goes into them.
They are not helping my waistline but they sure are tasty & work well 😊

Although I am several weeks away from takedown surgery, this week I discovered that if I eat a baked potato every night it really thickens my output. It works better than immodium.

I suspect, post take down, my working jpouch will really appreciate the daily baked potato.

I need to gain back the 30 lbs I lost so I hope this will help fatten me up as well.

That’s so wonderful to hear. Good luck with surgery!

I’m going on 2 weeks now with mashed potatoes for breakfast, and still has thickened my output and no meds. It’s shocking to me how many meds I’ve taken over the years to slow my output and all I had to do was eat mashed potatoes. Lol

It’s too bad doctors don’t dole out food advice as much as they do with medicines.
Just pray it continues to work, wouldn’t that be something!
