Severe Stoma Area Pain After Dinner: Seeking Advice

This topic is about someone experiencing severe pain around their stoma, which starts after dinner, worsens through the night, and then disappears by morning. A CT scan has shown inflammation in the small bowel, but the exact cause remains unclear. The person finds some relief with Tylenol and is looking for advice or similar experiences from others. Here are some helpful insights and suggestions:

1. Pay attention to what you eat and drink. Consider the type and amount of food, how well you chew your food, and what beverages you consume. These factors might affect how you feel after meals.

2. Think about whether there might be a partial blockage or "clog" in the stoma after dinner. The timing and symptoms you describe could suggest this possibility.

3. Reflect on your activities after eating. Whether you lie down or stay active might influence your discomfort.

4. Some people find that stool softeners help prevent blockages. It might be worth discussing this option with your doctor.

5. If Tylenol only partially eases the pain, make sure to communicate the severity of your pain clearly to your healthcare providers. This will help them evaluate and treat your condition more effectively.
