i occasionally have the sensation that I am going to pass stool through the anus. Nothing comes out but it sure feels like it is going to. Scary when in a store and trying to assure myself nothing will pass. Could something pass? I have been disconnected for almost 2 years. Maybe some day reconnect.

Hi, jkwcpa, This is normal, same as after amputation of limb. Don't remember how long I experienced this. My ileostomy was done in 1986. Now have a BCIR for 21 years.

Hi jkwcpa, I've had my ileosotmy for five years now. And to this day I still the sensation from time to time that I'm going to go. I still have my rectal stump and the feeling comes and goes. As carynzfree stated it's a nom. But as time goes the sensation hasn't been as bad. Hope all is well.
