Dealing with Possible Ileostomy Blockage - Seeking Advice

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about seeking advice on dealing with a possible ileostomy blockage. The original poster has been experiencing pressure, bloating, and mild pain to the left of their belly button, and has noticed a lump of solid stool. They are concerned about a blockage and are seeking further advice on how to manage it.

Advice and Insights:
- Consider taking a little Miralax.
- Try drinking a bottle of regular Coke or another sweet liquid.
- Sip hot tea and use a heating pad.
- Practice very slow deep breaths, gentle circular massage, and pressing your belly around the stoma.
- Keep a few bottles of room temperature Coke on hand, as it might help relax the bowel.
- If you feel like vomiting, go to the hospital emergency ward immediately.

Helpful Insights:
- The original poster's efforts are commendable and they should continue with the suggested remedies.
- It's important to monitor the situation and seek medical help if vomiting occurs.
