This topic is about dealing with a morning blockage when you have a loop ileostomy, humorously referred to as "Mount Jabba" erupting. Here's a personal account and some advice from others who have been through similar experiences:

- The day started at 6 a.m. with a thick, "mud-pie" output and severe abdominal pain, signaling a blockage.
- Drinking several glasses of water didn't help stimulate the stoma.
- After five hours of cramping, two cups of strong black coffee were consumed, despite knowing it might provoke a strong reaction.
- Within 10 minutes, the stoma began to eject thick pieces, and by noon, it "erupted," releasing a large amount of loud, coffee-colored liquid.
- The stoma continued to empty for another hour, the pain subsided, and finally, breakfast could be enjoyed while standing upright.
- The story ends with a question about how other people with ostomies experience their mornings.

Here are some helpful insights and advice from others:

1. Many find that humor and storytelling are great ways to cope. Laughing at oneself can make acceptance easier and improve mental well-being.
2. Taking daily fish-oil capsules and adding a few drops of peppermint oil to tea or 7-Up can help reduce blockages and painful "eruptions" for some.
3. While many manage to clear blockages at home, it's important to seek medical help if symptoms persist or are severe. An ER visit might be necessary.
4. If you enjoy writing, consider submitting humorous ostomy stories to publishers. It can be therapeutic and encouraging for others.
