Newbie looking for anyone with ileorectal anastomosis?

Hi! I realize this is a J pouch group; however I can't find anyone with an ileorectal connection as I had my loop ileostomy takedown, colon removed then connected to rectum at Cleveland Clinic on 12/12/16. The doctor decided after defecography that attaching my small intestine to rectum would be viable. I need help because my rectum turns the contents into burning "mucus poo" I have to push out. Sometimes after certain foods I can get liquid or both. I have to use a catheter meant for cleaning out an ostomy and "flush" out nightly to keep the rectum from getting distended. The closest thing or people I can find to what I have are j pouchers. I have you tubed butt burn and am trying to cope. Please if anyone has an ileorectal anastomosis please help with questions. I have quite a few. Currently at Cleveland Clinic for post op as I live close to Cincinnati. The surgeon and WOCN nurse don't have any suggestions as this isn't a common procedure from what I understand. Help, please.��
