Colostomy problem: Rectal discharge 18 months out

Yes it is common. If you feel like something is coming sit on the toilet and eventually it will pass. Usually liquids or mucus. I’m 11 months in after 3 different surgeries to find a spot the stoma could be placed. The Dr said it’s normal and just let it come out. I not only had mucus but small bowel movements.
It will eventually subside but it’s just part of the process.

@angeleyes777fun I've had a few 'ghost turds' in the past 3 years. I feel like you do when you are going to have a bowel movement. I'll sit on the toliet and just relax, it takes awhile but eventually I will pass the solidified grayish stuff.
