Severe Pain Near Stoma After Eating: Seeking Advice

Severe Pain Near Stoma After Eating: Seeking Advice

The topic discusses a severe pain experienced near the stoma after eating, described as being much worse than contractions. The pain is alleviated somewhat by using a hot water bottle, which seems to help move things along internally. The original poster is seeking advice on why this might be happening and how to manage the pain.

Advice and Insights

1. Muscle Spasms or Cramps: The pain might be due to muscle spasms or cramps. Using ibuprofen in addition to a hot water bottle might help alleviate the pain.

2. Medical Consultation: It is important to seek medical advice to determine the cause of the pain. A camera test and scans can help identify any blockages or other issues.

3. Partial Blockage: The pain could be indicative of a partial blockage, which can be extremely painful. Using a hot water bottle might help relieve the pain associated with blockages.

4. Gas Trapping: If the pain improves after passing gas, it might be due to trapped gas causing intestinal expansion. However, if the pain is only related to food, this might not be the case.

5. Skin Infection: Pain could also be due to a skin infection around the stoma, which might require antibiotics. Consulting a doctor is advised to rule out infections.

6. Digestive Tract Issues: Inflammation in the bile ducts or other parts of the digestive tract, such as colitis flare-ups, might cause pain after eating. Heat application can provide relief in such cases.

7. Ongoing Medical Tests: The original poster is undergoing further medical tests, including a camera test and blood tests, to investigate the cause of the pain.
