I thought I had been through it all in 25 years of this and have not heard or experienced this. The best surgeon I know and I know many is Danny Takanishi he is now in Hawaii, however I would email him and ask if he knows of this. He is brilliant. I hope you find the answers, but if anything do not wait, infections move quickly with short gut and you cannot wait. If it seems wrong it probably is. Do not settle for answers that don't solve the problem. Seek out second, third and fourth opinions. Someone knows of this. It is not normal this I can assure you. 

Actually Roger, this is not really out of the norm. Your small intestine continuously produces mucous, and this will collect in the pouch and pass that way. So, what you are likely passing is mucous. From time to time, you may feel an urge to have a bowel movement and will pass mucous.  There can be some minor bleeding from the surgery, though it seems that your doctors rightfully got this under control. Also, keep in mind that even though you have a loop ileo, your intestine is all still connected - just bypassed. It's possible therefore for some stool to miss the loop and go straight to the pouch.

That being said, there are still some things to look out for. It is possible to have pouchitis even if your pouch is not yet connected.  If you have  urgency or a sense that your pouch is full most of the time, pouchitis should be ruled out. Also, if the discharge is particularly foul smelling or if you are getting a large amount, then an infection or abscess cannot be excluded.

I agree. It is normal to expel mucous from the pouch and even some stool to slip padt the loop ostomy.

Thanks for the advice guys, I used a bed pan yesterday to observe what was coming out, it could be mucus but there's white bits; which I'm assuming is bits of small intestines mixed with blood . Thankfully its not the heavy kind of bleeding that I experienced post surgery , bathroom trips are accompanied with a slight urgency however.

I have been prescribed some medication to stop the bleeding and I haven't emptied my pouch yet so who knows I might be on the mend .
