Did anyone have an issue with constant spitting after ileostomy? Thanks!

Same question as Beachboy. :-)
But if you are referring to the stoma, spitting is pretty normal. It depends on what you are eating. I haven't spent any time trying to narrow it down, but it is something I experience frequently. Sometimes it is rather boisterous. You've had your ostomy for a while now. Is this the first time you have noticed such?

Thank you for your quick reply. I'll discuss irrigation with my doctor. I'm sure it would be down the road. My output is still very liquid. It's all so unpredictable at 6 weeks post-op. I have such a fear of constipation as I struggled with this forever. I used a fiber source to thicken the stool but it hasn't helped very much. I guess I will continue to be positive but it is a bit of a pain. This website is great and everyone is so informative. Cheryl
