Had my ileostomy in feb and today had a water soluble enema to check joining.  Now keep running to toilet because have started to poop again.  Worried that something is wrong with stoma, anyone else have this problem

  • Hi Option

    I found much the same in January after the gastrografin enema.  It started off as a little bit of solid matter which gradually changed to a watery mucus.  Lasted about 3 days and then just stopped.  At the time I just assumed that the procedure had cleared out anything that was left in the lower part of the bowel since the resection.

    Hopefully things will settle for you but, if not, you could always contact your team on Monday - or phone the helpline on here.

    Good luck.

    I had similar but it didn’t last long. I thought it so strange to be running to the toilet although I didn’t produce much.
