on November 28th, 2017 I had a proctocolectomy and jpouch construction with loop ileostomy (jpouch will be connected in a few months and the ileostomy will be reversed). Anyway, I have had this for less than two weeks but for the first week everything was great! Output was a good consistency and amount. Recently I’ve had issues with my output. It’s clear/yellow and watery. It looks almost like urine. My output has also increased from between 600-700cc to about 1,000cc. I’m drinking my electrolytes and sticking to the GI soft diet. My surgeon also prescribed me Lomotil (I’m allergic to Imodium). My question is, does anyone know why this is happening, is it permanent, and are there any other things to stop it from happening that don’t require medication? I do not want to become dependent on Lomotil.
Thanks!
Jess
