Ileostomy Irrigation Experiences and Advice Needed

Hi I've heard that some people irrigate their Ileostomy

just want to know if any one has done it, what is involved and thirdly why do people do it?
I presume it must be something to do with blockages but I'm only guessing
Thanx in advance

as far as I know, only colostomies can be irrigated, not ileostomies.

Hello,
  You must have misunderstood them to say colostomy instead of ileostomy. I have never in 30 yrs of having an ileostomy heard of irrigating an ileo. RC

I believe it is forbidden for ileos to irrigate.
