Hi everyone,
I'm really hoping someone can offer me some advice. I had a total colectomy in Nov 2016, and I've been recovering really slowly. One of my main issues is a high output stoma, producing what looks just like brown water.
What concerns me is that I have been prescribed imodium to thicken it up - and whilst in the hospital it worked fantastically. At home though, it seems to have no effect. I have been told I can have up to 32 mg of the drug, so it doesn't appear to be a case that I'm taking insufficient quantities.
In terms of diet I am trying to follow advice from my dietician, and I am having fortisip protein drinks as prescribed.
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
Kindest regards,
A man who claims to be tall.
