A member asked:
What would be the cause of a woman in her mid 40's intestines turning into mush resulting in an ileostomy placement that is not revirsible? possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unkown: The doctor who did the operation would be the best soiurce to tell you. Usually it would be because of a compromise in the blood supply. This would be from narrowing of the blood vessels or a twisting of the intestines some way
