My ostomy bag is filled at least halfway each time I have to pee, and I pee a lot because I drink a lot of water. I am up every 1-2 hours all night peeing and emptying the bag, then feeling dizzy when I lay down. I thought maybe it was dehydration, so I increased water and added some hydrating salts. It made it worse. I had some bad cramping in my lower abdomen, so I finally took some Imodium, which seems to have helped a bit. I also have leukemia, so I don't know if that's involved in this issue either. I had my surgery on March 12, 2024. Does anyone have a similar issue, and did you resolve it?
