Reply to "NUVAL continent ileostomy valve"

kim--thanks for all of the helpful info. what a tough recovery you have had. so sorry.

i too have a lot of mucus, at least more than double what was produced prior to the surgery. i can saturate two nursing pads daily. my acupuncturist thinks the mucus is a by-product of the inflammation, from surgery. i would think your inflammation would be gone by now. do the nurses or docs have any ideas on the cause of increased mucus? any way to treat it?

yes, thank goodness for stoma nurses who speak up with suggestions!! more than one has provided solutions for me. they listen to more patients, see the problems in more depth and therefore have some good ideas.

wish i could offer suggestions, but at least i can send you lots of sympathy. janet
