This topic is about a person who recently had a loop ileostomy and is experiencing unusual patterns in their stoma output. After recovering from a period of bowel paralysis, they noticed that their stoma is mostly inactive during the day but becomes very active at night. They are curious if others have had similar experiences and are seeking advice.

Here are some helpful suggestions:

1. If you notice that your stoma output has stopped or is very minimal, it's important to reach out to your colorectal surgeon or visit the emergency department. They might recommend imaging tests like a CT scan to check for any blockages or other issues.

2. Eating habits can influence when your stoma is most active. If you tend to eat later in the day, this might be causing your stoma to be more active at night. Try having your main meal around midday, opt for a light snack in the evening, and avoid eating after 7 p.m. to see if this helps increase daytime output.
