Reply to "No "action" from ileostomy"

Jan DollarModerator, RN, retired

Does not sound normal to me. He should probably skip the doctor and get advice from his ostomy nurse. Generally no output for 4-6 hours is a concern, but mainly if you have cramping pain. If the stool was bypassing the ostomy, then he would not be having all that backup that runs constantly once the ostomy is working again. Plus, he'd be having a lot of output from his pouch.

What is he eating? He may have to restrict his diet more until he has the take-down, and hopefully things will improve after that.
