Gastrografin and diarrhoea

Postby MaryannW » Fri Dec 18, 2015 6:18 pm

Hi all,
I'm due to have my reversal in February and went off for my gastrografin enema X-ray. The radiologer put heaps of solution in despite me telling him I was ultra low join in rectum. Anyway long story short spent 24 hours in toilet with diarrhoea even though I have ileostomy and was moving motions from pre my surgery in June. There was also a little bleeding but nothing too dramatic. The good news is the join has healed and things work down there. I was not incontinent even in sleep. Anyone else had this experience or similar? A little worried about the bleeding and hope that doesn't mean when I have reversal it'll be like that. Someone suggested bleeding could have been from where the enema tube was put in as that area hasn't been used in 5 months. Thank you.
