A doctor has provided 1 answer
Life style change: You will need to take care of the stoma and empty the pouch many times a day.stool that comes from your ileostomy is thin or thick liquid, or pasty, Foods you eat, medicines you take, and other things may change your stools..Liquid medicines may work better than solid.Enteric coated medicine will not absorb well. Chew your food. Drink extra fluids with electrolytes (sodium, potassium).
