I have had my colostomy for about 7 years. I have bowel movements every day around the same time with occasionally missing maybe 2 days. NOW no movement for OVER 5 days - NOT much pain or cramps happening. I did drink a little of MAGNESIUM CITRATE yesterday with NO response - so drank the rest this morning. My husband is wanting to take me to the ER - but I am going to wait. WORRIED ABOUT A BLOCKAGE!! We did ORDER the IRRIGATION KIT from Edgepark - but won't get it for a few days. ANYONE ELSE ever have this problem???
