Reply to "New kock pouch, sudden complication. Please help!"

I agree it’s probably food stuck in catheter hole. Make sure you chew your food. Also avoid food that can’t be chewed, such as stewed spinach. Because fiber and pulp type  food simply won’t digest or can’t  be chewed to small enough size, they will clog the catheter. Eventually you’ll be able to pull the catheter out and dislodge the food, but not  now. Best to spit food out. The stoma nurse can explain what foods work and don’t.

Keep asking questions from us as it’s the best way to learn.  Everybody here helped me. We are family. Where are you and who was surgeon? BTW surgeons usually send resident to check on you. I’ve had surgeries that involved nearly a week hospital stay and never saw the surgeons. Wishing you the best, Jan
