High Illiostomy output

On September 15, 2008 I had my colon removed, due to having ulcerative colitis.  I was in the hospital for a week recovering.  They sent me home on a Friday morning.  That following Monday I was back in the hospital for dehydration.  I stayed in the hospital another week with that due to having a high illiostpy output.  This process happened again on the following Monday after I left the hospital.  I was put in the hospital again for the 3rd time with dehydration and some kidney failure.  This time I stayed in the hospital for 4 weeks.  During that stay the pouch that my doctor made so he could reconnect my small intestine had torn around the staple line and I also had a fistula.  I had drainage coming out of my vaginal area.  That is now getting better but the output is not.  The doctor put a pick line in my arm and sent me home with Lactated Ringers.  He has been giving me Imodium (immodium) every 6 hours and lomotal every 6 hours.  He also has tried a cough syrup with codeine and prednisone and acidphex.  None of those started to work.  He has also did a cat scan on me and stomach x-rays and a parasite test on my small intestines.  I am still putting out 2,000 to 2,500ml a day.  He has also tried Bentyal and Cloestmine.  None of these medications has worked either.  My doctor at Wake Forest University is baffled with what to do to get my out put down.  I am now in the hospital with my second pick line infection.  I will be getting a catheter put in my chest now so I can go home and give myself fluids.  I was wondering if you could provide us any information to help me out.  I have tried eating non fating foods and not eating after 6:00.  I have also been eating starchy foods.  Nothing is helping at all.  I seem to put out a lot of fluid over the night time.  I am putting out between 600 to 700 during the night time hours. Does anybody have any suggestion of something else I could try..  Please help me out.

It sounds as if ur ostomy is at the very top of the intestine..as it gets less watery when the stool passes thru the small and large intestine...I have seen patients with high output that last a month or so then slowed..this is common with ileostomies and i end up seeing them again the next week due to dehydration ..so i am glad u have the fluids...i want to assure u that in many cases this slows down..sounds like they r running all the tests...C-Diff can be a culprit..good luck and i hope u got this problem resolved...
