Constant feeling of needing to go after ileostomy surgery - any suggestions?

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person who has been experiencing a constant feeling of needing to go after having ileostomy surgery. They have tried various methods to alleviate the discomfort but are seeking suggestions from others who may have experienced a similar issue.
