Iliostomy reversal

Post by Unhappytummy »

Just posted to ask someone a question about this but then I realised it was old.. Had iliostomy reversal 9 days ago . 2 loose bowel movements in hospital. Got home one week later. Bowel kicked in yesterday with a lot of nausea, pain, hard bowel movements and excruciating gas pains . No appetite whatsoever. Will this settle soon? I'm drinking peppermint tea for the gas pain but not helping much. Still on small amount of pain med. surgeon said it's such a small dose it wouldn't cause constipation. And to be honest, I couldn't have managed without it yesterday. I expected some of this, after all it hasn't been used for 3 months, but can I expect it to settle soon ?
