Hi
Is there any member on here who is a paraplegic and has an ileostomy?
I just have a couple of questions/concerns about pre- and post-surgery and pros/cons.

I currently have a colostomy but am having difficulty with constipation and abdominal pain.

If so, please get back to me when you get a free moment.
I would greatly appreciate it.

TY!

And a lot of us complain about our issues; much respect for dealing with an ostomy and your other issues.

Others may be able to give you some advice despite not sharing your condition. Or there are other issues you may have that may benefit from general advice and comments. Just post a general comment and there are plenty of people who are very caring and compassionate here who will try to help. Good luck with everything; may many blessings come your way. 😊
