After three years with an ileostomy and no major problems, I have started bleeding for about three days. The first day, the blood was very red and heavy, but only when I went to empty my bag. The second day, it was light, and on the third day, it was dark reddish-brown. I don't know where it's coming from. I only have a primary doctor who knows nothing about ostomies. My stoma surgery was an emergency with no knowledge of an ostomy to follow. At the present time, I don't have a surgeon that I can go to and get answers and help.
