This topic is about a person who had ileostomy surgery six years ago and is now experiencing frequent and severe vomiting, along with troublesome gas. Although their ostomy pouch is working normally, the ongoing sickness is causing significant distress. Here are some helpful insights and advice based on their experience:

1. If you experience persistent or worsening vomiting after an ileostomy, it's important to consult your general practitioner or surgical/ostomy team as soon as possible. Insist on further investigation to identify the cause.

2. Pay attention to your body's signals. If symptoms persist or worsen, even if your stoma seems to be functioning well, seek medical evaluation.

3. Community support can be invaluable. Keep your peers updated on your progress and reach out for encouragement and shared coping strategies, especially if you are undergoing treatments like chemotherapy.

In this case, the person sought medical attention and was admitted to the hospital for dehydration. It was discovered that the anti-emetic tablets they were taking were actually causing the vomiting. They are also preparing to start a three-month course of chemotherapy.
