This topic is about someone who had a colostomy reversal after living with a colostomy for over a year due to a bowel perforation from undiagnosed diverticulitis. After the reversal surgery, they are experiencing some troubling symptoms and are seeking advice and insights from others who might have gone through similar experiences. Here are some key points and advice shared:

- Since the reversal, there has been a continuous passage of blood mixed with small amounts of stool.
- The person is experiencing increasing urgency, multiple trips to the toilet at night, and an inability to pass gas safely, which is causing anxiety about potential accidents, especially at work.
- These symptoms are reminiscent of a previous episode of proctitis/colitis from 13 years ago.
- The surgeon has suggested that the symptoms are due to inflammation and not related to diet or expected side effects of the reversal surgery.
- The person has been prescribed Salazopyrin (sulfasalazine), which was effective for their colitis in the past.
- Additional tests, including blood work and a scan for a clot, have been ordered.
- A follow-up appointment with the surgeon is scheduled for the coming Friday.

Advice and insights from others include:

1. Persistent or recurring rectal bleeding after a colostomy reversal is not typical, and it is important to seek immediate medical evaluation rather than waiting for scheduled appointments.
2. Others who had their reversal around the same time report little to no bleeding and few accidents after the initial postoperative days, highlighting the importance of getting prompt medical attention if blood is present.
