Illeostomy question

Postby li001sp » Wed Sep 03, 2014 8:01 pm

I have a illeostomy question. I have one that for now is still temporary. I believe it's normal to pass some stool the normal way but I'm not sure. Can anyone advise if this has happened to them?

I'd appreciate it.

Good evening. When I had my temp it happened. It's kind of shocking right! Doc said perfectly normal, but as with anything monitor yourself and call your doc if you have concerns.

It is normal. It's actaully not stool, it's just mucus. The section of your intestines that is no longer attached to your stomach will still generate mucus that you will pass "the normal way" No worries totally normal.
