Hi everyone, I'm new here. I've had my colostomy for 5 months now, after emergency surgery. While I'm coping well with the ostomy (she's called Stomie), for the past 2 weeks my tum has been really bloated and uncomfortable on both sides (kinda dips in around the scar area) and feels larger when I'm standing. I've been under quite a lot of stress recently, and have definitely been turning to food, and eating too much (comfort eating). Today I'm planning on fasting, and increasing my fluid intake.
Has anyone else experienced this please - is this just a case of 'Your over-eating and what do you expect type' of thing? I watched the hernia video yesterday, and don't think it's that as it's on both sides - but feeling quite stressed about it.
Suggestions, comments please. Many thanks.
