Hi, I had a robotic LAR,  a week later I had an ileus,  was back in hospital for a week, then had to have an emergency op and they gave me a stoma, all has been OK until I drank some orange juice,  had awful diarrhoea,  and took 2 loperamide, that was Tuesday, its now Saturday and have had zero output, I've just had 75 mls of orange juice, in the hope that it will maybe jump start it. Anyone have any ideas please. I'm 3 weeks with stoma

  • Hi 

    How are you doing ? Just wanted to check that you got your stoma going ?

    What a time you have had of it ! Hope things are starting to become more manageable for you .

  • Hi Court, it started working again late Sunday, but hasn't produced much, I've just seen my stoma nurse, she's happy that it's working OK. Thanks for the follow up, I hope you and your family are doing OK.
