Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person who recently had surgery to remove cancer and now has an ostomy. They are experiencing abdominal pain and are unsure if it is due to gas or a blockage. They are seeking advice and insights from the forum members.

Advice and Insights:
- A partial blockage can cause intense pain, especially when bending over, and may resolve suddenly when the blockage clears.
- Consider the possibility of gallbladder issues causing the pain, especially if the ostomy is functioning.
- Drinking pure grape juice is suggested to help move things along in case of a blockage.
- It's important to get the pain checked out to rule out other possible causes and receive proper treatment.
- Scar tissue from surgery can cause a strangulation/restriction feeling, which may be mistaken for gas or a blockage.
- Gas can be extremely painful, and applying pressure around the stoma and lying down can help relieve the pain if it is due to gas.
- The use of 100% grape juice for blockage is recommended, and it's considered a healthier choice compared to juices with added ingredients.
- It's important to address any concerns about the ostomy and wound healing with healthcare professionals to ensure proper care and prevent complications.
