When do I get answers

I have posted several questions but never get answers.
Pete
I have my colon disconnected no motility no reason is there is a chance that after iliostomy for 6 months could it work again.
Do I hook the small intestine to the rectum or just hook up the large intestine and give it another try.

What reason or explanation do your doctors give?  What was the purpose of the temporary ileostomy?  I had ulcerative colitis and had to have my colon and rectum removed.  I have something called a J-pouch to replace my rectum and generally everything works well!

Several times I had motility issues with my small intestine but it was medication related (anethesia from surgeries close together, anti-diarheaa) and improved within 2 weeks.
