@modeler @NikkiDimes You gotta get the excrement out one way or another... but I do know of people who have had to have a permanent ileostomy due to the inflammatory bowel diseases (usually ulcerative colitis) and because they've had to have everything that was part of their digestive-system removed below the end of the small intestine (and then the ileostomy routes that out the front), they also had the hole in the rear sewn shut. The "barbie butt" operation, I've heard it called. Not fun.
