help me - is this normal   Message List

Help = I have had a colostomy for over a year now and am concerned
right now. My bag is not filling for the past two days like it should -
could this be something to be concerned about. I am ashamed to say I
have not changed my eating behavior - and have gained weight - but I am
concerned now because I don't want to develop a blockage or anything.
I have started eating oatmeal for the past two weeks for breakfast - to
make a "good" change and usually have sandwich, chips and piece of
fruit for lunch - and then "fast food" sorry to say for dinner - could
this be effecting me? They never told me what to eat or what not to
eat. Help - I don't want to fret if it is nothing - but I am used to
having my bag fill up first thing in the morning and then 2 to 3 times
during the day - and it has now stopped to just once yesterday - and so
far nothing today and it is 10:00 in the morning and I have been up
since 5 a.m. - so I am concerned. Thanks alot,
-Nicki-

Hi Nicki, If you are not vomiting, or having pain, then you need something to "push" it through. Irrigating is a personal choice nowdays. Some do it so they...
