I am waiting for my take down in April or May and have had an Ileostomy since January. I know sometimes it's normal for me to pass mucous through my butt but today has been strange.

 

I've had really watery output from my ileostomy since I got it and today was no different but EVERY time I went to the bathroom I've been passing mucous or watery clear stuff out my jpouch. I've been to the bathroom about 8-10 times today and each time I have to pass stuff from my pouch and empty my ostomy. Is this normal? What the heck!

And......when it is suggested that this would be a good time to practice your kegals, smile and say, "Thank you for the suggestion."  The mucus which is currently seeping out of your back end has to be the most slippery substance in existence.  They should call it "Mega Lube"!  Don't be disheartened if, as hard as you crunch those anal sphincters, the "Mega Lube" still manages to ooze out!  Once you are reconnected it will serve its purpose by helping you easily pass effluent.  More than not, you won't even realize you are passing mucus!  Hang in there!
