Hi ostomates! I had ileostomy on 11/26. I had slow transit constipation, so the ostomy is just an experiment for a few months to see how my digestive system reacts to the non-use of my colon. If well, then the surgeon wants to remove the colon. If not, I will get a reversal. So far, I have had high output which confirms that my colon is a problem and would support the colectomy. However, I am concerned that I will have the opposite problem - going to the bathroom all the time and diarrhea. Anyone have any advice, experience, thoughts? I simply don't know what to do.
