A member asked:

36 yr old male, 7 weeks post ileostomy reversal and have large but frequent bms almosr defying logic from what i've eaten. sign of celiac? its exhausting to go 5 to 6 daily or more. thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Often after an ileostomy reversal, there is an adjustment period for your intestines. It can take 3-6 months. You may need to use anti-diarrhea medication and Metamucil. The surgeon's office can refer you to a dietician that can help you with your diet.
