Ileostomy reversal uncontrollable bm?
retsfc497
Hello all i just had an ileostomy reversal needless to say my bowels are going crazy. I feel as if i con- stantly have that urge to go poop and uncontrollable gas and gurgley bubbly bowel sounds.
My initial surgery was a polyp removal surgically. For days later i was rushed back into surgery cause C.T. showed a leak in colon. Six months later approximately 2 weeks now and im afraid of eating anything. Ive gone from 220lbs to 170lbs in 6 months dont really miss the weight though everyone says i look great but i feel literally like crap. Surgeon said no more than 2 imodiom a day and that 3-6 bm daily he expects to be normal but today i had 12 bms using tucks for sore bottom. Is this normal after an ileostomy?
