This topic is about someone who had an ileostomy a year ago and is now dealing with persistent, colic-like pain. They describe the pain as sharp and sometimes dull, spreading across the abdomen and into the upper back, often with nausea. They have ruled out common causes like wind pain and bowel obstruction and are considering indigestion as a possibility. They haven't changed their diet recently, except for starting iron and folic-acid supplements. They stopped using aspirin and ibuprofen, but the pain persists. They are reaching out to see if others have had similar experiences.

1. Some people have experienced similar pain due to intestinal strictures, which can intermittently block the output. It might be helpful to consult a doctor about getting a scope or endoscopic evaluation to check for any narrowing or obstruction.
