Is there anybody out there who can share their thoughts or experiences with an ileostomy that stings? It's not the skin around the stoma; it is the actual stoma that stings as poop is coming out. No matter what my husband seems to eat, every night it stings, and he has watched his diet consumption and all. Stoma nurses don't seem to know why; we are seeing our surgeon tomorrow to see if there is something medically wrong, but nobody can seem to answer the question as to why it stings, and it's every night. It's so unbearable. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy, which could be a complication, but nobody can answer this question. Also, if anyone has experienced this and knows the successes as to how to stop it from stinging, please answer us as well. Thank you so much!
