6 weeks post op and partial stoma blockages have been my most frequent complication! I am now onto my 8th ileostomy blockage

Therefore I decided to create this video to share with you what to watch out for and 7 different ways you can help unblock a stoma blockage.

*******Disclaimer- everything I share is the advice I have been given from my stoma nurses, but if you are worried please contact your medical team.

    THANK YOU! We were getting ready to head to hospital when I pulled up your video. It worked! After 2 days of being blocked, it's moving now. Thanks for being kind enough to share your video! Hope things stay well for you 😊

    Another awesome video! I starting to worry that I might have a partial blockage. The last two days I’ve only had small amounts of liquid in my bag. But I’m eating normally. Now if I sneeze I get pain just below the stoma. That’s a new symptom I haven’t had before in that area. And I agree your looking quite well and perky.

    Thank you these videos. I’m 26 have had an ileostomy since 15. For 10 years never had any blockages at all. In May I had a complete obstruction from a Bezoar and had an endoscopy. And now I’m dealing at home with a partial blockage. Get output when I drink Prune Juice. But struggling without it and nothing solid. Hoping it passes

    It’s been 4.5 years since my surgery and I still occasionally screw up and eat something I shouldn’t ☹️

    The agony i had one this week i ate a banana wtf went to hospital after 10 hours as i had to wait 2 hours i vomited then my stoma started working and decided to leave the hospital
  • @drro4790
    Question what the sign that it’s completely unblocked ? Is it more solid output rather than just liquid

    Next time try eating around 200 to 250 grams of grapes, if they are in season of course, that should bring results. 🦘 🦘
