Could i still pass gas out of rectum with an ileostomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes absolutely: If there's any colon left, even just a rectal stump, some gas , on occasion, my pass. Also, there will occasionally be a smidgen of discharge, such as mucus, from the living large bowel. Hope this helps. Good luck.
