I've had an ileostomy getting on 4 2 years.
My major problems are wind but more especially watery stools and seem to have tried everything.
Recently I have been diagnosed with advanced Pancreatic cancer.
My oncology nurse has suggested that I try Creon . It's bulked my stools quite a lot.
It's really helped so u may want to discuss with your ileostomy nurse whether it would be helpful.
Hi MrSky and welcome to the group.
I’m sorry to read of your situation and further diagnosis. I will leave it to others to reply as i have a permanent colostomy rather than an ileostomy so unfortunately don’t have any relevant experience to be able to help or advise you.
However, you are welcome to be with us in the group and I hope you’ll find it helpful.
