Yet another question to my trusted panel of advisors...
It wasn't much, but this morning I passed a small formed stool and a small amount of unformed stool from my rectum. My colostomy was 5 weeks ago...
Is this normal?

You will pass mucus on occasion and sometimes that mucus can kind of solidify and even look/smell like stool, and this is normal.
