Yes, you can still pass stool if you have a colostomy bag, but it will be diverted through the stoma into the colostomy bag rather than through the rectum. Depending on the type of colostomy and remaining intestinal function, you might occasionally pass mucus or small amounts of stool through the rectum. This is more common if part of the colon or rectum is still intact and functioning.
