If you need to put on a few lbs. try ice cream or frozen yogurt. That might be easy on the stomach.

Fell better.

I think what she means by mucus fistula is that her colon wasn't fully removed so she has two stomas and two ostomy bags(one on each side) and the blood and mucus from her remaining colon goes out through the second opening. I have the same issue, what I've noticed from this forum is the Americans have their surgery in two stages and the UK posters have their surgery in three stages. So there is no sub total colectomy in the USA, I asked my doctor why my surgery was in three stages and he said for safety purposes.
