Reply to "Stoma output"

TE MarieMember

I hope you are feeling better today. I remember the first month, as being from hell, after my j-pouch was removed. It's a very serious and complicated operation so please ask your doctors about anything you think doesn't feel right. Having the fistula sounds like hell and one big complication on it's own.

My largest problem was with the output. I tried every kind of pouching system over my stoma I could. The real problem was the inconsistency of the output. Besides what you are doing have you tried psyllium fiber? I mix it with applesauce to have after dinner. Imodium, Loperamide, is to be before the meal. I still use 6 loperamide daily, 3 before dinner and 3 before bed. I eat a protein smoothie made with fruits and veggies for breakfast and don't need anything as this produces a good stool.

Sorry if TMI! I suggest you keep a food diary including what kind of stool foods are causing you.

Best wishes for your recovery!
