Reply to "Adult daughter between steps 2 and 3 having many BMs in addition to filling her stoma bag. Is it OK?"

She will be okay. It's a temporary problem, although quite traumatic. I had my surgeries in 1993 and they fully disconnected the small bowel and I still had BMs from the water and mucous that the intestine produces. Pouch output is directly related to the amount you eat so...less food = less output. Sometimes I think about how convenient the ileostomy bag was. I am forgetting about how stressful it can be to have your bowel hanging out of your body. Hopefully she can get the take down done soon?
