Trapped Wind

hi Stomawife, welcome. This is a brilliant site. with lots of  very caring and understanding people. Lemonade or fizzy water helped my pain when I had wind with my illiostomy or anything really that made me burp.

A hot water bottle helped with the pain and when it was really bad 2 cocodomol - this causes constipation but as my illiostomy was very runny they thickened up my output. I'm not advocating this drug to thicken output. Loperamide Immodium) is the best I found to thicken output.

Husbands/carers have a hard time of it, in my experience and can feel so helpless which is frustrating for them. Just know no question is silly or embarrasing.

Hi Stomawife

I had a LAR op in August and have an ileostomy  

I haven’t had the same as I’ve had a different operation but wanted to say hello and welcome you. 

Thank you it’s comforting to have contact with others who understand how difficult supporting loved ones with this and to find out anything to help
