Reply to "permanent ileostomy problems--terrified to get the surgery"

CTBarristerMember

I have heard this many times from many people, that the permanent end ileostomies are a "different ballgame" than the temporary loops. It's never been made clear to me why that is. I had the temporary ileo for 3 months and it was constant leakages, burning and a yeast infection around the stoma which only resolved with takedown. I couldn't get a good seal on the ostomy bag appliance where it adheres to the skin and nobody has ever been able to explain how, exactly, that issue would be different with a permanent end ileo.
