Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person who had a colostomy due to a ruptured bowel and has developed a prolapsed stoma, where the bowel comes out of the stoma. The person has been hospitalized multiple times for large bowel obstructions and further surgery. They are living in fear of the prolapse happening again and are scheduled for an ileostomy surgery in a couple of months. They are seeking advice on coping and solutions for the intestinal protrusion.

Advice and Insights:
- Consider consulting a nutritionist to address blockages and seek a second opinion from specialists.
- Experiment with liquid magnesium to help loosen up the output and enhance sleep.
- Despite trying all the right things nutritionally, if there is a motility problem in the intestines, a loop ileostomy might be the way to go, as suggested by the GP, Surgeon, and Gastroenterologist.
- Prolapsed stoma with ileostomy is common, and it can be fixed by detaching the stoma, drawing out the offending section, and reattaching it in the same place.
- Shortening the stoma and converting it to a colostomy might be an option if desired, as advised by a surgeon.
- Stay positive and seek support from a network of people who have gone through similar experiences.
- Understand that all prolapses are not created equal, and the severity can vary. The person's experience with a 6-7" prolapse was severe and required anesthesia to fix. The upcoming ileostomy surgery is expected to alleviate the pressure buildup behind the stoma, reducing the risk of prolapse.

Insights:
- The person's experience with a severe prolapse was challenging and required medical intervention.
- The person is optimistic about the upcoming ileostomy surgery and appreciates the support from the forum community.
- Another forum member shared their experience with a prolapsed stoma and reassured that it is common and manageable, even in social situations.
