Hello everyone! I’m new here but in need of some advice. I have had faint yellow (almost translucent) colored watery output for the last 5 hours or more. I feel nauseous and my abdomen is on fire with my muscles contracting every 5 minutes or so. I am really trying to stay out of the hospital. So far I’ve taken a Lomitol, 2 Immodium, omeprazole (for the gerd), and my medical marijuana for the pain and slowing of my output. However nothing seems to be working. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and thank you in advance!!!!

G-Day Mrk, it sounds like you may have a blockage. If you start to vomit, head for the emergency room ASAP. Regards, Iggie

I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.

Agreed to the above, does that medication slow the stomach down? I've always used a hot water bottle if I can for the pain.

If you have a blockage, taking Imodium is not a good idea. It is likely to cause you more problems than it will solve. You might have a blockage; it sounds like it... you need to be careful about how you proceed from here. You might get dehydrated from all the output. It would be best if you went to your local ER and had it checked out, especially if you begin vomiting.
