I have a question 2 years in the making. I have had my ileostomy for 2 years, and I get foamy output on occasion. I haven't been able to get a suitable answer from many people and websites. Does anyone else here get the same thing as me? The output makes a bubbling sound as it comes out, and it's just foamy. It doesn't hurt or cause any problems; it just happens. Wondering, curious for a couple of years now......
