Hi. It sounds reasonable that you FBO is gone now as the FBO probably comes from a combo of feces in the rectum and a partially opened anal sphincter. It is very logical that having your colon removed and small intestine connected to a stomy would address this problem efficiently. I understand that your ileostomy is temporary. If the small intestine later on is connected to your anus (ileoanal anastomosis - IAA sugergy), then I am a little worried that the FBO perhaps will return. It's very hard to tell, though. After all, none of these operations will affect the anal spincter ... which probably is a part of the problem. If the anal sphinter's default position/regulation is still too open after the IAA, then u might thoretically get FBO from your small intestine. However, you might also turn out to just fine. It would be interesting to know, though, what happens after the IAA. Anyways, I am very happy on you behalf that you currently don't have this problem any more.
