One minute, stoma going and next thing, I slowly down. In come the stomach cramps, they are swollen around stoma and very sore. Any ideas? Ring stoma nurse Tom.

Hi Tom, it sounds like you have a partial blockage. I usually drink some fruit juice or warm tea, then lay down for a while, going from side to side and massaging around the stoma. That works for me. But if the pain gets worse and maybe vomiting, I go to the hospital. Good luck, Ron in Mich.

Hi, just seen another post from you. I have had a few blockages in the past. I always stop my food intake at once and keep drinking, but as a rule, I have found that the pain gets too much and I have to seek medical help. I wouldn't like to say it is a blockage because there is no way one can say by a letter, but really you should, which I hope by now, you have seen a doctor.
Cranberry juice is good for making your poo runny, but not a lot as it doesn't take much to do so. That's if it is pancaking or thick output.
