Hi all, new here and first post. I'm 3 weeks post-panproctocolectomy for UC. Apart from a terrible inpatient stay, I'm now doing well, happy, and confident not to have UC anymore, and I'm getting used to my new internal (and external) plumbing. I'm just wondering if any of you experienced ostomates have good tips for reducing overnight output. I'm eating an early and light evening meal (around 17:30 to 18:00), but my output seems to increase overnight and peak between 3 am and 5 am. Any ideas?
