Grape, Prune Juices Not Working?

Since I had my ileostomy created two months ago, the output has been steady but pretty slow.

When coffee was recommended to me, I tried it, it worked once or twice, then things went back to how they were. Ditto for grape juice, which worked amazingly well the first two times but barely has any effect now.

Yesterday, I tried prune juice for the first time, and it didn't help at all. Maybe I didn't drink enough?

Now I'm thinking of trying pear juice, which used to work way back when I began suffering constipation, around the time of my Crohn's diagnosis. I'm apprehensive about raw fruit, so I'm sticking with the liquid stuff for now.

Staying hydrated is very important, if I don't drink enough water I will go all day without output.
But if you are having steady output that's not causing blockages I wouldn't worry about speeding it up. As long as the ratio of wwhat goes in as to what comes out is pretty even.

I have slow transit and have issues even with the ileostomy. I have to be careful with the foods that I eat especially thickening foods such as rice and pastas.

I have found that lots of pickle juice helps me when I feel bound up. I drink up to 16 ounces of pickle juice in one sitting. This can cause a severe diarrhea in most everybody with ileostomies though so if you try the pickle juice try small amounts and see what happens. I have had it cause a yellow water in the bag but I never dehydrated from it.

I am not typical like you. No juices help me.
