Hi Everyone,

Happy New Year to all and all the best in 2014. Wishing everyone health and happiness!

I currently have a temporary loop ileostomy since April 2013.

Recently I noticed something strange and I am not certain if it is normal. Hopefully someone can provide some information.

I sometimes pass clear /white fluid rectally, which I have been told is normal.

However, I just noticed something recently when I change my bag (has happened more than once).

As I clean the area / skin around my stoma, I put a little pressure as I am pressing (not too hard) down on the area.

When I do this, a stream of fluid (also white or clear, like fluid lost rectally) comes pouring out in stream from a hole beside my stoma (part of the stoma area). It comes out in a stream because there must be pressure there - almost like bursting a cyst.

Does anyone know if this sort of thing is normal and has it ever happened to anyone here?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it is normal. It is just mucous from your "downstream" side of the loop that has not moved along yet. If it was painful, reddened, or oozing outside of your stoma, then it might be a concern
