Reply to "Abdominal pain need advise now!!!"

Selma, I feel for you and something similar happeded to me 3 months after the removal of my colon back in 1993.

Nothing, and I mean nothing was coming out of my stoma either. I am not sure how much pain you are in but mine was so bad, I had to get to the ER ASAP.

After begging for pain meds, they finally gave me a shot of Morphine or Demerol and after that, I began to relax and fell asleep.. While I slept, everthing came out of me. Later, when I was back in my hospital room for observation, I was seen by my surgeon and a doctor who specializes in Infections Disease. They asked me what I ate the day before since this all happened to me first thing in the moring.

I told them I had been to the movies with my brother and I ate two large bags of popcorn. They told me that Corn can cause blockages to the stoma. I wish someone would have told me that before.

Maybe you can ask the doctor for pain meds like I was but I would call your doctor right away to play it safe. Hope you are feeling better soon.
