Hi all - I could sure use some advice. For about the last six days, I have had very little output. I had a colostomy back in August, and since then, no problems. Usually, the poop has been kind of mushy, and Friday am, I had some hard poop balls. Hate to be graphic, but if you have an ostomy, sometimes you have to be. I had one hard poop ball yesterday, and since then, nothing. I have been in contact with my regular doctor, and she said to try taking Miralax, which I have to no avail. I did have a cataract removed last Monday with light sedation, and she said she doubted if that was the problem, but anything was possible. I am getting terribly worried...does this mean I am getting an obstruction? I am having no pain at all at this time. Any advice or support would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Cindy
