Hi, my daughter recently underwent j-pouch surgery second stage and has a loop ileostomy for now until the take down surgery in a few weeks. She’s having lots of discharge from her bottom that can be quite smelly, the dr says it’s normal but should it be so much? It’s every day quite a bit like a yellowish liquid.

I understood the post that way, that the stoma itself "leakes" into the pouch branch, creating discharge there. That can always happen with a loop ileostomy.

There can also be mucus from the inactive part of the bowel and pouch as well as bacterial residue in the output. I wouldn't worry about that if it was meant that way.
