This topic is about someone experiencing symptoms that suggest a possible blockage in their ostomy. They have a small stoma and recently took a magnesium citrate laxative, but now they are only passing muddy water and feeling significant abdominal pressure. They also have a reduced appetite and are looking for advice.

Here are some helpful insights and advice shared by others:

1. The symptoms described, such as abdominal pressure, nausea, and minimal output, strongly suggest an intestinal blockage. It is important to stop eating solid foods, avoid taking more laxatives, and seek immediate medical attention by going to the Emergency Room.

2. The urgency is due to the potential severity of blockages, which can lead to extreme pain, vomiting, loss of consciousness, or even a bowel rupture. Several people have shared personal experiences where delaying treatment resulted in fainting, severe vomiting, and multiple hospital visits.

3. In the Emergency Room, typical treatments include intravenous fluids, muscle relaxants, and observation for several hours. In some cases, a catheter or tube may be inserted directly into the stoma to relieve the blockage, which works like a siphon.

4. It is advised to have someone else drive to the hospital, as pain or fainting can occur suddenly.

5. The person initially used magnesium citrate, an oral laxative. Another product mentioned by a community member is Fleet Phospo-Soda, a sodium phosphate laxative, which they took before deciding to seek medical help.
