Uncontrolled Rectal Discharge - Seeking Advice and Similar Experiences

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person seeking advice and similar experiences regarding uncontrolled rectal discharge after having an ostomy with a failed ileoanal pouch. The individual describes experiencing an increase in the volume, color, and viscosity of the discharge, which is involuntary and has become unmanageable.

Advice and Insights:
- The green discharge could be related to Anal Gland Disease, which involves the anal sacs, and it's recommended to collect a sample for positive identification and further investigation.
- Some individuals have experienced similar discharge, possibly related to the rectum still producing mucus, and using sanitary pads has been suggested as a way to manage it.
- The volume of the discharge is beyond what a pad can handle, indicating it may not be a normal mucus discharge.
- A pouchoscopy is not likely to provide insights into the rectal discharge issue, and it's important to get the problem figured out through proper medical investigation.
- Encouragement and support have been offered, with a link to additional information on rectal discharge provided.

Helpful Insights:
- The individual is encouraged to update the forum on the outcome of the scheduled pouchoscopy.
- Support and well wishes have been expressed by the forum members.
