Hi, I'm really great now after 2 months of recovery. I have an ileostomy. How about you? No reversal for me.
How's it going on your end?

So very glad to know you are well. Reversal was never an option for me, as long as everything is working I'll keep moving on with life.

If you've had a colostomy or ileostomy, you may experience some common food-related issues.
The good news is that you can avoid them with some small changes in your diet.
