So sorry for this mess...try to walk as much as possible...it helps. If you can't exactly walk, try bouncing up & down on your toes while standing...it keeps your guts moving or at least can help to get them started again.

I never had an ileus until my mid-40's, dozens of abdominal surgeries and zip...then I had a pouch valve redo and everything was fine until it wasn't.

For some reason, your guts decide sometimes that they need a break and go to sleep after major trauma. They will come back but you need to be gentle with your guts, careful what you eat...they had emergency surgery, major trauma, and are pissed off and showing it!

Massaging your abdomen gently, deep breathing, and heat all help! Also good smells seem to help stimulate your intestinal tract.

Good luck
