That doesn't sound normal. Get in touch with your stoma nurse or your surgeon and tell them what's happening. I had an ileostomy for two years; it would occasionally get backed up and then clear itself after a few minutes/hours. It's normal to occasionally get backed up with an ileostomy, but not all the time - you need tests to find out what's causing it.
Also pay a visit to the Ostomies board. On page 2 there is a topic by SolomonSeal - he had similar problems to you and it turned out to be a mechanical issue. He got relief through a surgical revision to the stoma.
