Intestinal Pain and Soreness Near Stoma: Seeking Advice

This topic is about experiencing pain and soreness near a stoma, along with liquid output, and whether these symptoms might indicate inflammation or a blockage.

Here are some helpful insights and advice:

1. If you experience pain around your stoma that lasts more than a couple of days, especially if it's accompanied by liquid output, fever, blood, weakness, or signs of dehydration, it's important to seek medical attention promptly.

2. Staying hydrated is crucial, as having all-liquid output can quickly lead to a loss of fluids and electrolytes.

3. Keeping a food log can be helpful. Sometimes, eating high-fiber foods like popcorn, raw vegetables, peaches, or poppy-seed pastries can cause partial blockages. These blockages might still allow liquid to pass through but can cause pain around the stoma.

4. Consider that gastroenteritis or seasonal stomach bugs might also be contributing to your symptoms. Keep an eye on how you feel and consult with a physician to determine the best course of action.
