I just want to know what a stricture is and how it happens? I am not worried about having one I just see others post it and worry about it.

It is when excessive scar tissue forms around your stoma (which is created at the juncture between the pouch and the re-routed part of the intestine) and causes a restriction in the size of the stoma opening so food and even sometimes liquids have a hard time getting through.
