I've had my ileostomy since late October and have done well with it until a few days ago. I am noticing pressure, bloating and mild pain off and on to the left of my belly button. When I feel around, I can detect a lump of what feels like solid stool. My first output this morning was odd, lots of foam. The next time it was the thickest I've ever had. I'm just drinking lots of liquids, massaging, pulling my knees up and rocking, and applying heat. I'm concerned I'm getting a blockage. Any further advice?
