I have a colostomy and I just had poo coming out of my rectum. It was like I was constipated, and then I had that happen. Not much, but I'm just curious.

I go for a colonoscopy tomorrow, so I'll see the doc. And no, I hadn't started prepping when this happened. :-)

It could have been mucus. My surgeon said that if I didn't irrigate the mucus every other week, it could harden and look like a bowel movement from the rectum. I have just started using glycerine suppositories for the mucus - it seemed to work better than an enema every other day. The suppository is lasting a week. My surgeon said that he has done reversals and the mucus is just stuck there and looks like a bowel movement.

Yes, it is probably mucus.

I too have the solid waste from the rectum. I have been frightened, however my doctor has said the same as your information about the mucus, I am glad to know you suggested the suppositories in it. I have a double colostomy. Called a shotgun ostomy! Is this the same as yours, and I also want to know, does yours have an odor? Mine smells very strongly like dental work. I'm stumped, but at least it isn't an obnoxious smell.

Thank you so much for being brave in reference to this problem. I am new to this and would never have mentioned it.
