Hi - yes I am quite often bloated (well I think thats what it is!) I have a huge hernia which will go very hard quite regularly and becomes very uncomfortable abdominally and in my back) But I am also constipated beyond my stoma in my colon so that won't help either. Sometimes my output seems immediate and at other times it takes a while to get through, so that may have an impact on it? Not sure what I can recommend for it as I have found anything which suits either!



Take care

MeetAnOstoMate website turned out to be a lifesaver for me. I say this because, for me, this ostomy journey was a devastating event both physically and mentally.
Here, I found folks who understood my feelings even better than my family or friends could. Only a fellow ostomate can understand how you really feel.

Information sharing is key, as well as support and understanding, to ultimately bring more harmony into our ostomy life journey. I found here, virtually no ostomy questions that are not touched upon. Questions which some might feel, may be too trivial to contact a doctor about or even too shy or embarrassed to ask their own doctor about. They are all addressed here.

For me, anonymity was very helpful in seeking answers to each phase of this life changing medical and mental event. Sharing initial trauma feelings, ongoing support and finally acceptance was what I found with my membership here. I am not sure what my mental and physical attitude would be today without having found this site.

Additional benefits included: finding products and ideas to help with daily maintenance, innovative ideas and as a bonus - some great humor.
After all “laughter IS the best medicine”.

I have been a member for 3 years, an ostomate for 4 years - yes, I certainly wish I would have found it immediately after surgery but so very thankful I finally found it when I did as I truly believe it turned my troubled depression and situation into a more positive attitude and acceptance.

Sincerely,
An Ileostomate nicknamed Justbreathe 🫶🏼

Tyler gets bloated from time to time, for no apparent reason at all. The bloating is never painful, just uncomfortable, and his output remains normal. When he experiences the bloat, he just eats simply and light for the day and then it disappears.



If it feels like *more* than a simple bloat to you, then get thee to a doctor!
