I have questions about ileostomy done Jan. 2013. Within a half hour after eating, it starts going through to my bag. Does this happen normally? Sometimes the waste in the bag is as thin as water, and sometimes it is the consistency of thick gravy. It never gets anywhere near solid. When I get up in the morning, I have pain in the area of the stomach. It seems to come and go, and some days are pain-free. I lost weight through this. I was a big lady, 5'6" and weighed 170, but now I am between 127 and 130 and can't seem to gain. I don't eat anything on the list of not to eat and drink lots of water. Then just 8 weeks ago, I had cancer surgery but didn't need any chemo or radiation as the surgeon said she got it all. Still, my weight has stayed the same. Any help would be appreciated!!!!
