What does a pouch look like?

What does a pouch look like?

This is an X ray of my pouch. Two months after the formation of the pouch, I was invited back to hospital where I was asked to lift my legs up to my chest in a foetal position, and a tube was inserted into the pouch, through which a marker fluid was added. This came out though the lower part of the loop ileostomy. Meanwhile the radiographer took loads of pictures!

The pouch is the kidney shape object that shows up as a brighter white, and the tube that provides the marker can be seen.
