Photo attached. Since last night, I've had liquid output. I can hear gurgling. No pain, no fever. I changed my bag because it leaked from the diarrhea, and my stoma has a little purple around the middle of the column part. Is that normal? It also seems that the skin on my belly around it is a little raised, but I'm not sure if it has always been slightly raised and I never noticed. As my stoma is 2.5 months old, so I'm still new to all this.
