Is It Normal To Have Milky Whitish Stool After Proctocolectomy?
My boyfriend had a proctocolectomy and now has an ileostomy bag. He said his stool has turned milky and whitish. Is this normal? His surgery was recent and is undergoing treatment with Octreotide injections right now for a Chylous leak following his surgery.
