I had an emergency stoma in October after a resection split.
I am losing 3 litres a day and am now on weekly magnesium infusions.
Have tried everything to slow it down but nothing works, Imodium in every form possible in every dose possible, etc
My gastro has told me to lay off the Imodium and he has referred me to surgeon for urgent reversal as the stoma is actually making me ill!
My gastric emptying used to be about 20 minutes on a bad day but now it's instant - it's very bizarre watching your food leave as soon as you have swallowed it!
No idea what the nhs see as 'urgent' but hoping it will indeed be soon as 3 litres a day is a lot of emptying!
