Hi everyone, this question is mainly for those who have been diagnosed with UC, now have an ileostomy, and still have their rectal stumps. My surgery was in 2012. After that, I had some drainage from my short rectal stump, which apparently is normal as the body adjusts. Eventually, it has become next to nothing for a very long time. Suddenly, in the last week, I am having quite a bit of that kind of slightly pale pinkish drainage various times a day. No pain. I have been under a lot of stress, preparing for a move. Have any of you experienced this return of rectal stump drainage? Thanks.
