I have had my ileostomy since May 2016 as an emergency and had a proctectomy in December 2016. Since I've had my last surgery, which was just over 2 weeks ago now, I have noticed that the vitamin tablets I take, along with some other meds I have, are passing through to my bag still complete! Kind of freaky and actually quite painful! Anyone had this happen before? Any advice would be great!
