Most of the time, the tortilla chips are a pie shaped triangle. This is understandable, because a tortilla is round. The pieces are thrown into hot oil and fried. A few minutes later, you have tortilla 'chips'.
BCIR is not for people who have or need a colostomy, people with [active] Crohn's disease, mesenteric desmoids, obesity, advanced age, or poor motivation. When Crohn's disease only affects the colon, it may, in select cases, be appropriate to perform a BCIR as an alternative to a conventional ileostomy. If the small intestine is affected, however, it is not safe to have the BCIR (because the internal pouch is created out of the small intestine, which must be healthy).
As a rule of the thumb in colostomy care, the higher the part of the colon which is attached to the abdominal area, the more times that the pouch should be emptied. 1  Both Ileostomy and Colostomy are surgical procedures. 2  Both Ileostomy and Colostomy use a pouch or a collecting system that is emptied multiple times in a day.
