I see you wrote this post at 9:00 last night and I am writing at 7:45 the next morning, Saturday. Have you gotten in touch with a nurse yet? Somebody has to be on call. How about your surgeon? Can you call the office and get an emergency number? If the answer to both questions is no then maybe it's time to go to the ER and find out what's happening with you.
What kind of surgery did you have? And when? I'm stabbing in the dark without that information. When did this condition start? Whenever that was, it's not normal. Go to the ER.

Alan is 100% right, if you havn't done so go to ER. You say you have an ileostomy and your colon was removed but (I'm guessing) they left your rectum and anus in case you could get a reversal? Anyway this could just be scar tissue coming off and draining but it's not a time for guessing - get proper adevice and treatment.

I agree with Alan and Happy S. Usually you just expell mucous but not little chunks of stuff. Somethng is going on and if it is scarry to you I think a trip to the ER is in order. I know the ER can be a pain but since it is the weekend it is probably the best place to go. How long ago was your surgery? Let us know what the ER or Dr. has to say. Kind of curious what it could be. Breath one step at a time. xox terri

I have UC and because nothing was working my option was to have surgery june 15. I was diagnose with ulcertaive colitis 3 years ago. i got hold of my GI doctor and she said that it could be tissue. She took out blood just to run some test but she still wants me to get a hold of the surgent which seem like he is nevernaround when i need him.

I am having a reversal some day i hope. They removed my large intestive. I just got off the prednisone if thats any help. I do hate hospitals very much butwho doesnt right.

Hey Sweetie.. glad you got to see you regular doc anyway.. and hope you hear back from your blood work, very soon.. AND your surgeon!!! Does you surgeon work in an office with other doctors? If so.. you should be able to get in to see one of them within the practice!! If you don't feel better and it does not taper off.. You should go to the ER and at least the dr's there and one from the surgical rotation, could check it out.

Yes.. none of us "love" hospitals.. BUT.. it's the place to go when you can't reach your doctors and you have something going on that's not normal..

Good luck.. Prayers..

I'm sorry I'm late on posting my response
So my doctor said it's normal. That as long as it's not watery red it's ok. Because i have a chance of reversing the red stuff coming out can be food that is hard to digest. Such as fruit or veggys. Peel. It can also be tissue.
