Hey after my shock at finding out that I would still occasionally have the urges to go to the bathroom out the backdoor, I have found over the last year or so that those are much more frequent now. anybody else experiencing this?

they are caused by peristalic waves......you may even pass muscus............'i call them butt braxton hicks' ........if they are bothersom ask your doc if you can use a glycerine suppository once a week...................or try to pass the mucus.........

Iv'e had them a few times but I am a Ken doll and have no place to put a suppository. I have heard of others who have had this and one of the easiest things is to sit on the pot and make your mind think you are taking a poop.

Ostomy surgery is stressful both for the patient and the caregiver, and creates a major life change for both people in a relationship.

Ha, funny I read this now because I just had that feeling a few minutes ago. I've had my colostomy almost 3 years now and I still experience this fairly regularly, probably at least a few times a week.

I had have my ileostomy for 27 yrs..25 without a place to put a suppository. I experience this at least monthly, and I agree with Don, just go sit down and imagine you are having a bowel movement. It helps 99 % of the time.
