Hello, I've had my ostomy for 8 months and lately I've been finding little white balls in my pouch. My whole colon was removed due to Crohn's disease. These balls do not hurt in any way, in fact the only way I know that they are there is when I look. They are hard to the touch but when I squeeze them they feel gummy and just go flat. If anyone has an idea of what this could be, can you please let me know. I pass 4 a day, 2 at a time each time like clockwork...P.S I've asked my GI and colon rectal dr and neither knows what they are. Thank you in advance...Signed stumped white ball recipient..
