Stoma Pain - Seeking Advice

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person seeking advice for experiencing deep pain in and around their stoma, which feels like it's being strangled. The individual had an ileostomy in 2016 and the pain comes and goes.

Advice and Insights:
- It's important to consult a doctor about the stoma pain, and if the current doctor doesn't have answers, consider finding a new doctor.
- Consider the possibility of the pain being related to diet, especially if it's high in gas-producing foods, which can cause gas and subsequent pain around the stoma.
- Providing more information to the doctor, such as the specific location of the pain, the timing of the pain in relation to eating, and any other symptoms, can help in diagnosing the issue.
- Adhesions could be a potential cause of the pain, and consulting a doctor or an ET nurse for referral to a specialist could be helpful.
- It's important to keep seeking help from medical professionals and to share any new information or relief found with the community.
