I had to have a diverting ostomy after having a jpouch for a few years. It was a loop ostomy as the plan was to reattach to the jpouch in time.

It was very unlike my first ostomy which was problem free really. This time it was constantly, constantly, constantly burning my skin. Eventually it was discovered that there had been a surgical error. With a loop there are two stomas - one opening is in the middle for stool and the other is at skin level for mucous. Mine had been switched so in fact the stool was coming out at skin level. I decided to share this when I read your comment "The discharge literally comes out of my skin". It took a long time to be diagnosed because the mucous stoma was sticking out so perfectly in the middle but it wasn't until the doctor witnessed it in action that you could see the problem.

I feel so much for you. It's all so difficult. I am thinking of you and wishing you well through this .
