Hi everyone, hoping this chat can help. I'm looking for any hints, tips, or tricks after an ileostomy reversal. I'm struggling with the pain and frequency. Some days I will go 4/5 times, others can be up to 10/15.

Good luck. Others here will chime in if they aren't on vacation for our Fourth of July holiday. We have several members that have been reversed successfully.

Hi, I see you mentioned ileostomy reversal. Can you provide any more details about the exact type of reversal you had? Do you have any colon left? Reason for surgeries?

CrappyColon is correct. If your ileostomy was protecting a low anterior anastomosis, then it will take a while before your new rectum develops capacity.
