Hello, my son is 21 yrs old he has had and ileostomy for 4 yrs now. He
has gotten along well with it. This past week he has had cramping and
just today had to empty his pouch 3 times within an hour. It was very
full and has blood in it. He does not have a fever or sore throat. He
feels lightheaded upon standing. Has anyone experienced this? Maybe it
is just a virus, I don't know. Please, if anyone has any idea if this
can be normal let me know. Thank you!
