Hi,
I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in Nov 2023 and had a temporary ileostomy to ease things before radiotherapy & chemo. I’m currently recovering from the op to remove the tumour and hoping to have the stoma reversal in the coming months if the resection is good.
I’ve always had a supply of Loperamide from the stoma team and was told to take it ‘as required’ to thicken the output, otherwise I sort it through diet. Today a new stoma nurse said I should be taking it daily, 1 x Loperamide every morning & evening. Any thoughts or advice please?!
