So, my colostomy hasn't had any output since Saturday early AM....48 hours ago... this hasn't happened before. Ate and drank normally the last 2 days and felt ok. Passing gas and no pain. But this morning I feel backed up. No actual pain or nausea, but I feel constipated. First time (in 9 months with a stoma) that I've gone more than 8 hours without output, so I'm worried. The only thing I ate this weekend that's different is a handful of fresh cherries... of course I spit out the pits, and I took time to chew them very well. Anyone ever had a blockage from cherry skins? Any other suggestions?
