I have/had flank pain in side and back ; stomach pain and vomit. Doctor did culture and found bugs. Other doctors say that a stoma will always show bacteria as the small intestine is a mucus membrane. Just trying to see how others handle this scenario.

I would like more information about what you are going through. I have had a UTI (urinary tract infection) and did not have any pain. I was put on antibiotics and did not have any dribbling and made it to the bathroom, especially at night, not wetting myself. Now that I am off the antibiotics I have a little dribbling. What kind of "bugs" did the doctor find? Usually when "bugs" are found we are given some type of antibiotic.

I have an ostomy not a urostomy, so I may not be able to answer your questions. If you do ask a question I cannot answer I will let you know and not try to "play" doctor. However, if you are not getting help from one doctor you can always try another one. Good luck.
