This topic is about dealing with the frequent need to change or empty a stoma bag due to persistent liquid output. The person experiencing this issue has not had a solid stool for months and is looking for advice. Here are some helpful insights and suggestions:

1. Determine if you are changing the entire stoma bag or just emptying it. Emptying the bag seven times a day can be normal, but changing the whole appliance that often is usually not.

2. If you have an ileostomy, it's common for the output to be more liquid. Emptying the bag around seven times a day is considered average for many people with an ileostomy.

3. Consider any recent changes in your diet, fluid intake, or new medications, as these can often cause a looser output.

4. A sudden and lasting change from thicker to very loose output might be due to a temporary issue like a stomach bug or food poisoning. However, if it persists, it's important to seek medical advice.

5. Reach out to your stoma nurse or general practitioner, especially if you are in the UK, for an assessment. They can help identify any underlying causes and provide management advice.

6. Short-term medications such as codeine or Lomotil (loperamide) might be prescribed to help thicken the output and prevent dehydration.
