I don't have have ileostomy (yet) but I have a friend who does.  She said when she feels she has a blockage she drinks warm-hot tea and also grape juice.  She does a lot of walking and within a few hours her "output" starts up again.  I hope this works for you.  Do you have an ileostomy or a colostomy?

I had some kind of blockage yesterday. I got worried and called up the out of hours  health line. i was quite quickly referred to a hospital clinic where i saw a doctor. He was very nice and   jolly but to my horror he suggested putting a suppository into the stoma ,which I eventually agreed to. It worked and quite quickly things were moving again. The point that I want to make is that all the health professionals took the situation quite seriously. and obviously a blockage could have serious consequences. I think that the problem for us is to be able to figure out when it is serious-time to see a doctor, or when a cup of tea and a walk can do the job.

HOW TO TREAT ILEOSTOMY BLOCKAGE

Symptoms:

Thin, clear liquid output with foul odor; cramping

abdominal pain near the stoma; decrease in amount of or

dark-colored urine, abdominal and stomal swelling.

Step One: At Home

1. Cut the opening of your pouch a little larger than normal because

the stoma may swell.

2. If there is stomal output and you are not nauseated or vomiting,

only consume liquids such as Coke, sports drinks, or tea.

3. Take a warm bath to relax the abdominal muscles.

4. Try several different body positions, such as a knee-chest

position, as it might help move the blockage forward.

5. Massage the abdomen and the area around the stoma as this might

increase the pressure behind the blockage and help it to “pop

out.” Most food blockages occur just below the stoma.

Step Two: If you are still blocked, vomiting, or have no stomal

output for several hours:

1. Call your doctor or WOC/ET Nurse and report what is

happening and what you tried at home to alleviate the

problem. Your doctor or WOC/ET Nurse will give you instructions

(e.g., meet at the emergency room, come to the office). If you are

told to go to the emergency room, the doctor or WOC/ET Nurse

Hello tello



i have had an illeostomy for one year

Thanks eddie, very useful, wish I had known that before,when I was having blockages.

I found a shot of demerol would do the trick, 'cept last time I drove myself to emerg. and they gave me an analgesic instead , took 5 days to clear that one.

Cheers Bob
