Chronic constipation suffer here. I’ve never had a blockage, but what I’ve found helpful with being bound up is. Low impact exercise at least 15-20min a day, a daily fiber supplement along with adding more fiber in your diet, lots of water like an insane amount of water. I still have issues but doing these things help for sure.

[@sammariofan]

Nice video, the best tip imo is massaging the area daily and meditation to reduce negative thinking, anxiety, and limiting beliefs. I used to get obstructions monthly (from ruptured appendix surgery I had 10 years ago) been to the er twice both times got an NG tube and waited it out. They suggested a Colostomy so that the damaged intestine could heal since it was so swollen from all the 40 plus episodes I've had since the first surgery. But I refused since I was only 20 years old. I do plan on seeing a doc soon for check up. But every since I've been doing mediation and massage, the episodes have gone down to two a year. Please stay positive, blessings to all.

EVERYONE READ THIS COMMENT-- Do not drink any carbonated drinks, because the gas from them will cause severe pain

[@Shieldhealthcare]

Hi there! Thanks for your comment. So, agreed, in part - don't drink any carbonated drinks if you're experiencing a total blockage. This is the advice from the United Ostomy Association of America: "If there is stomal output and you are not nauseated or vomiting, only consume liquids such as Coke, sports drinks, or tea." If you have had no stomal output for several hours, stop all intake of food and fluids and seek immediate medical attention. You can find more advice here: www.ostomy.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/IleostomyBlockage_2018.pdf

[@hishamlabban6308]

Not true, carbinated beverages help to mke intestinal output. Also carbonated mineral water helps. I tried it. If i want to empty my bowels i drink 500ml. of carbinated minerals water. In just about 10-15 minutes i feel like some huge gas pressure in my stoma and later get the urge to go make the output.

Years ago I had abdominal surgery. At the time the Dr said one of the risks is future intestinal blockages from scar tissue choking the intestines. Fast forward to today, a few days ago I literally felt something inside- around my csection scar- do like a flip flop! Then I had pelvic pain and difficulty going #2. I did a salt water cleanse and drinking tons of water... like 4 quarts during the day. Another thing I did was increase my food intake. I have been dieting, and my heart told me to eat more to maybe push things along and back in place. I also did some yoga poses -including downward dog :) That stretch did feel good! Tonight I’m starting to feel so much better. Has this happened to any of you? Should I be concerned and get checked out?

[@ericagoogle4320]

Had 6 hours of gastric pain continuously, admitted to hospital with people wondering why I'm hyperventilating, underwent surgery as appendicitis, then found out it was tangled of small intestine with adhesion tied around. I didn't know it was that severe which I assume because I'm a dancer with high pain tolerance, that 6 hours was agonizing and enough to validate something serious was going on. Of course after the surgery, there's 7 days of no eating, 11 days of no water, 4 tubes in your body including IV tube to get all the acid out (for 11 days). As a person who had no previous operation, having adhesion tied around the intestine was a rare case, all I can say is to control your emotions, because that's the only fault I can find in my case.

[@Gcubed14]

Thanks for this video. Just wanted to share my experience...Make sure you get a CT scan and NOT just an ultrasound. In 2020 I had abdominal pain several times for which I went to the emergency room twice and to my doctor a few times. I had at least 3-4 ultrasounds done and they never found anything, but I knew something was wrong. December 20th 2020 the pain came back with full force so went back to ER for the third time, this time they finally did a CT scan after another unsuccessful ultrasound where they finally saw that I had an obstruction. Turns out I had a neuroendocrine tumor in my small bowel. They ended up removing 4cm of my bowel that was damaged by the tumor. I'm still at home recovering now and I don't have cancer which I'm grateful for. Moral of the story. Fucking Ultrasounds are only good for seeing babies... get a CT scan or something better if you have symptoms.

@@jackieland6378 I had mild pain on and off for about a year. One time it lasted like 3 months, but it was mild... When it got more severe that's when I went to the hospital three times. I'm guessing things would start to get clogged but would somehow pass through and then again few months later. Until the tumor had grown enough. But even then, the doctor said after the scan "nothing is getting past this point". But I didn't have any other issue up that point... I went to the toilet and also through up several times throughout the night until I finally realized it wasn't going away and decided to call an ambulance.

[@Lespaul23]

It has been my experience to strictly avoid carbonated beverages at all times, but especially during a blockage. This just adds to the pain by introducing gas to the situation. I always drink lots of tea, be it hot or iced. Tea is a diuretic and softens the stool and helps things run smoothly. And FYI, if you want to clean your system and pouch out, have bacon, eggs, and a big cup of nice hot tea. You’ll have two, nice, mostly liquid bagfuls over the next hour, and you’ll be good to go until after your next meal.

It does help to relieve her pain after the wash out is done. We try not to send her to the ER as much we do in the past as there is only few pediatric doctors who are experience in handling her case. I hope you can share more in the future for me to understand my childs condition better. Thank you very much for sharing.

Hi. Again. It’s me again, I have discovered that my constipation with slow digestion was due to some kind of potassium deficiency. I knew this from looking at my diet. It seems that taking in more potassium has done job. I did go to doctor but it seems as if the doctor missed this. potassium is important for digestion, bowel function, etc. potassium in the right amount is a natural laxative but one that you need as well. It directly or Indirectly pulls water into the colon to help soften stools. Thats one of the ways potassium helps you relieve yourself in the bathroom. I still get bloated but not severe in the absence of constipation.

[@SajSajidmk]

is it potassium or magnesium? how do you take it? pills

[@mohamedn87]

@@SajSajidmk . . No pills. Naturally via food. Food is medicine. Make sure your eating healthy fats which are in alot of foods. Fatty meals stimulate natural bowel movements as well.

[@mohamedn87]

@Amara V . . .True. too. But everydays circumstances differ. What works for one may not work for the other. And vice versa. Also fats are important for bowel movements. Fatty meals stimulate or cause natural healthy bowel movements.

[@mohamedn87]

@Destiny The Queen . . . Most foods have it. Some foods have it more than others and are good sources of it like dairy, meat, fruits, veggies, tubers, and legumes. Just read nutrition labels. An even important or just an important factor in bowel movements is fat . . . dietary fat in this case. Fatty meals stimulate pooping . . .I mean normal bowel movements. No diarrhea. Too much fat particularly in one sitting may cause the opposite of a healthy bowel movement which is diarrhea. Great sources of dietary fats or healthy fats are meat, seafood, dairy, legumes, nuts, etc. These foods are higher in healthy fats than other foods.

Everytime my husband has a blockage sometimes it resolves after heating pad, or drinking a lot of water, others escalated to nauseas and vomiting, we go to ER they take a CT scan and they always say there is not blockage 🙄 after a few hours of not eating, the old food is released and he feels better, why doctors keep saying there is not blockage, when obviously there is a blockage! 🙄

surprised to see every method i use when i get obstructed... i dont have a stoma bag and i am trying to avoide it at all cost. its been almost a year i am on liquid diet and im trying to find a solutions for my adhesions (motor accidents/3 laparotomy etc).. its getting better but i keep losing weight and i am afraid everyday it is killing me slowly :(

Hi there 🙋🏽‍♀️🙋🏽‍♀️it is mentioned that over using laxatives cause more damage. Your intestines will rely on that. With me, no laxatives works. I take warm water, and salty water on an empty stomach. It helps a bit.

My blockages are usually from scar tissue becoming stuck together. It causes excruciating pain and unless I can’t get it unstuck by massaging or hot tea or a hot bath, I have to get to e r as fast as possible. One time it happened so quickly that all I could do was scream and couldn’t even tell 911 operator where lived. Thankfully they could trace me by my phone. When I got to the hospital by ambulance, they put a I v In me- ( never fun since I’m always dehydrated because of Crohn’s)😬 , then had pain medication and nausea medication. I am put into a room and go through tests .
