When your colon, rectum or anus is injured and needs rest, your doctor may recommend a colostomy - a surgical procedure that takes the large intestine to the abdomen surface in order to deposit waste in the bag instead of digesting it. The rest of the road travels. If you are healthy, you can reverse the colostomy in the first year. Even after a successful reversal, you can expect your bowel habits to change. Changing your eating habits may help with bowel movements and make you more comfortable.
Keep food magazines to isolate food that may be problematic. (Source: serezniy / iStock / Getty Images) Intestinal function after reversal of colostomy may be unstable and ineffective ictable. To find out what food is good for you, keep a simple diary. Take a notebook with you and write down everything you eat. Write down your bowel movements. For example, if you notice diarrhea that persists after morning coffee, you may need to reduce caffeine.
