Mucocutaneous Separation After Ileostomy Revision - Seeking Advice and Experiences

Topic Explanation
The forum topic is about a person who recently had an ileostomy revision and is experiencing mucocutaneous separation, where the skin is separating from the stoma. The person is seeking advice and experiences from others who have dealt with a similar situation.

Advice and Insights
- The technique used by the surgeon for securing the abdominal wall and end of the ileum/stoma during the latest surgery can affect healing.
- Malnutrition and high-dose steroids can impact healing after ileostomy creation.
- Healing may be slower for individuals with Crohn's disease, and Crohn's medications can also slow down the healing process.
- Nutritional supplement shakes can be helpful, especially when eating solid food is challenging.
- Ensure can be a good option for nutritional supplementation, but high sugar content may cause issues for some individuals.
- Sharing experiences and updates can be helpful for others facing similar challenges.
