First, I want to express my sincere gratitude to all for your responses to all of my posts over these last couple of weeks. This question is a follow-up to my other posts about stoma output and a possible blockage.
I'm still not having the outputs I'm used to seeing, but for the last 5 days, I'm getting at least a tiny bit of something each day. Yesterday was the most I've seen since this started... and still, I'd estimate it at less than 20% of what I'm used to seeing. Very firm, a lot of mucous.
Through this, I've been hydrating heavily, chewing my food to a pulp, and limiting the food I eat to things that aren't known to be a higher risk of causing a blockage. And there is no pain, no fever, no other symptoms.
But there are other factors in play here... I've reduced my food intake substantially for this last week, yet I'd still expect quite a bit more output than I'm seeing. As small as it is, with the daily output, it shows I don't have a complete blockage, but could this reduced output still be symptoms of a partial blockage? Or am I just over-worrying, and perhaps just need to go back to eating normal-sized meals and see what happens?
