For those who had an end ileostomy after having a jpouch made, how did the consistency of your output compare? To either a first end ileo, loop ileo, or jpouch?

I’m assuming from what I’ve read that it varies depending on the person. I’m 5 weeks out from my takedown as of tomorrow and my stool has been anywhere from very soft but formed to mashed potato-ish. Depending on what I eat/time of day.
Metamucil has helped form things up and can help expand the pouch but it won’t necessarily slow down activity like Imodium would.
