Constant Stomach Burning and Bowel Issues Post-Urostomy

Ive had my urostomy bag for five years, lot of radiation damage,then burst appendix, trouble is Ive had more bowel trouble than urostomy trouble, my stomache burns constantly, ever time I eat I find myself with either vile trapped wind or horrid burning feeling down my left side,

Hi Missymo. I suggest you see a gastroenterologist. I'm not sure there is a relationship between your urostomy and the symptoms you describe. Please let us know how your visit goes.

Respectfully,

Mike

Hi Missymo,

It sounds like you have two systems involved....one urinary, and the other gastro.  Sometimes it's difficult to know what is causing the problem .   A doctor once told me that "just because you have problems with one system, doesn't make you immune to difficulties with  another. Years after my surgery, I started to get a funny ( metalic like ) taste in my mouth.  Those were the days before the talk of reflux or GERDS.  But it was "acid", and a daily medication ( Zantac) took that away.

Sigh..   For me, Ulcerative Colitis, & the treatments involved ( 50+ years ago) was a gift that kept on giving.  Never had difficulty with my ileostomy, but did have urinary issues ( damaged nerves) vaginal issues ( chronic infections from a tear),  Osteoporosis, from medication when I was 15 and  again at 60, and then diabetes, ( probably from the steroids, and being overweight).  So these days, I see 10 specialists.

     I'm not trying to scare you....just  suggesting that you get the other system(s) checked out.   I find it better to know than to speculate.   Best of luck.
