Hi,

I am in the boat, but am only 2 months out of surgery (colon and a rectoplexy). I am super active and eat well, but it just comes out. Very frustrating and embarrassing. Also, at times I have horrendous shooting pain from my intestines to pelvis and cramping. It feels like a little person is inside me stabbing me. But after a few CT scans, it is narrowing and just something I have to deal with. I've had several surgeries and do not want another one or a bag.
