Hello all,
New to this group. I've had an ileostomy since March following surgery for colorectal cancer. Haven't had an issue until last week when all of a sudden I was taken down by the worst abdomnil pain I've ever had. I was admitted to the hospital and on surgery watch but thankfully with nill by mouth for two days IV fluids and walking the blockage cleared.
I'm home now and back on a low residue diet but even with this I feel my output should normalize and still hasn't- still liquid.
Has anyone any experience with this? I'm perplexed and still a little sore but the doc says the soreness will last about a week since my bowels were so distended and "bruised".
Any help is welcome. Thank you for having me.
