Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about individuals experiencing pain and discomfort when the contents enter their pouch after having a stoma. The original poster mentions feeling discomfort and pain at times, despite having pasty or softly formed output.

Advice and Insights:
1. Pay attention to your body and stoma, as there may be sensations that are not the same as those from other parts of the body.
2. Be aware that a confused nerve ending might transmit a signal that something is happening, which the brain interprets as pain.
3. Check that the faceplate is not butting up tightly against the stoma to avoid sharp pains during output.
4. It's important to maintain adequate water intake to prevent constipation and blockages.
5. Individuals with stomas know more about their bodies and stomas from living with them than doctors who only study them in books and operating tables.
6. Food and drink can affect the processing of output differently for each person.
7. Some individuals may feel uncomfortable rather than pain when their bowel is getting ready to pass waste.
