So I’ve had my colostomy since December 2023. No issues until now. Got a little dehydrated due to nausea and vomiting last chemo treatment over a period of 3 days. Able to eat solid food for the past 4 days. No output for 5 days…. This is very unusual for me. Did ducolax suppository via stoma…No ouput. Took miralax…. No output. No nausea/vomiting now. Staying very dehydrated, but now concerned there may be a blockage or partial blockage. I still pass some gas, but nothing else. Just wondering if anyone else has had issues similar and what helped most. I also tried the leg tuck and rolling side to side and warm heating pad with massaging around stoma afterwards. No output…. 😳
