I really hope someone can help me solve this problem; my doctors have not been able to! In 2009, I had a subtotal colectomy with ileo-anal anastomosis. I had too many BM's per day (really sore, bleeding), so I had to go to an end ileostomy. I hate living with an ileostomy (I guess no one likes it), and I am always so "aware" of the feeling of the bag hanging down from my belly! On top of that problem, every morning, for about the first 3 hours I am out of bed... I keep having a watery leak from my backside! I am not kidding (I know this is a weird thing), I am always wet for the first 3 hrs in the a.m.; from about the top of my butt crack down for about 3 inches! It is like I am perspiring from my butt crack! I hate to be so darn graphic, but I am very tired of this problem and yet doctors just shake their head and say, "No, that's impossible!" As if I would want to make something like this up?!
Please help!
Thanks.
