Question:

A large stoma is when the opening from your pouch to your intestines is too large and it lets your food empty from your pouch faster. It goes directly into your intestines and lets them function as a stomach, thereby enabling you to eat more and not have that full feeling. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to prevent it and most of the docs will not operate on you to correct this problem. From what i have read, there is nothing that can be done. I know this is probably not the answer you are looking for. Good luck anyway!!!
