Low Bowel Motility
Posted: 2019-12-20 19:33:49
Hello You Gators!!
Autodraw here, checking in to say all goes well with me. Lots of travel, more wrinkles, rather a lot of wine, and irrigation working very well. (Had a period of orneriness for a while there but the stoma seems to have straightened up is flying right again.)
So, my dear group, I have a question on behalf of a new patient up here. Female, with a history of very low bowel motility, new colostomy (about 2 months) that still requires laxatives to get going. She has tried irrigation twice with not much success. As we all know it can be discouraging when the damn thing won't cooperate and I don't want her to give up prematurely. I've coached her to gradually use more water and keep trying.
What are your best tips for this issue?
A very Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays etc to everyone and GOOD HEALTH in 2020!
