Foamy Output from Ileostomy: Is This Normal?

This topic is about understanding whether having foamy output from an ileostomy is normal and what it might mean. A person who has had an ileostomy for almost three months noticed this foamy texture for the first time and is feeling concerned.

Here are some helpful insights and advice from others who have experience with ileostomies:

1. Many people have shared that a foamy or bubbly appearance in ileostomy output is just gas trapped in the effluent. This is quite common and not something to worry about.

2. It's normal for ileostomy output to have different textures, including foamy or bubbly appearances. These variations happen from time to time and are considered normal.
