Still got my temp loop ileostomy.

Since the creation of my J Pouch (2014), I've passed a clear mucus from my back passage; more recently, the output is more like feces ?

The output is not formed and still looks very much mucus like but now of a poop colour.

Is this normal or anything to worry about ?

Thanks for the reply.
Since the forming of my end ileostomy and more recently, since the J pouch creation, the rectal output has been clear, kinda whitish.

Before the J pouch, the output was a small amount and only once or twice per week.

Since the J pouch, within the first 2 or 3 weeks, there was huge amount of output, which eventually calmed down to a manageable amount, well to what I consider normal and without accidents.

It's only recently that the output has become a brownish colour; there's no foul smell.

My colour varies but it can be quite dark with a hint of yellow.

All good with me health wise but I have to wait a bit longer for takedown as I have a small sinus at the anastomosis. It's healing slowly and the surgeon is confident it will close up. I'm having the next scan in January so fingers crossed I can have takedown early next year.

All ok with you?
