I had a colostomy in 2010 and in the last week or two I feel I may be trying to obstruct. What does it feel like when you get an obstruction? I have massaged my belly and drank more fluid but didn't help much. Have more gas too even though my meals haven't changed. I have always had watery stool, then will change to more of a consistency and then back to watery stool. I take Imodium before I eat but it usually makes no difference. If there is anyone out there who has had an obstruction before, I would appreciate hearing from you.

If you've had a colostomy or ileostomy, you may experience some common food-related issues.
The good news is that you can avoid them with some small changes in your diet.
