Problems with stools

If you have an ileostomy, what you're experiencing is perfectly normal. It really depends on what you've been eating and drinking. Stool with an ileostomy will be of a toothpaste like consistency at best. Mine can go from watery to pasty within the same day. I never worry about it. What will be, will be :)

thanks for the information.

 Is there a secret to the days when it is too pasty? have tried fruit juices, increasing my fluid intake, and eating vegetables. Is there something else I could try?

This will be a permanent illeostomy so I would like to learn as much as I can.

It seems I empty a lot at night too. Is this normal? Sometimes it will be almost every hour to hour and half.
