I've been told that I have pretty bad constipation, I've been telling them that for ages! I get lumps of what they say are poo, around my stoma, appearing and disappearing, it's painful! Opposite to this, I get bouts of diarrhoea then back come the lumps but stoma remains inactive for days! I've had my colostomy for 4 years and this just started about a year ago! The only advice I've had is to keep taking Fibogel plus stool softener! It's driving me mad so please, any advice would be wonderful!
