What are the symptoms of Ileus please?

Oh Artsie,You are not moaning,I think you need some medical help.When I had Ileus my bowels stopped working,I was bloated with abdominal pain and vomiting.The pain wasn’t too bad to start with but got worse over time like the vomiting.I don’t think you should leave this especially as you have done as advised and the bowels are still not moving.I hope something can be done to help.Love Jane xx

Hi Artsie. Nearly two years on from reversal, my bowel went on strike. Reluctantly headed to A&E to be checked out. Mixture of patience and glycerol suppositories eventually worked but I’m glad I had x-rays to make sure nothing else going on. Even if was finally discharged at 3:30. AM!!

Hope things work out naturally, but I’d encourage a medical opinion. 

Thank you. I’m in a bit of a state. The gentle pains started and I was in agony the first time. 
It’s so reassuring that you’ve experienced it and all was okay 

Thank you 

I’m wondering if my bowels on strike too as it’s such a weird feeling. I can sit on the loo forever and there’s absolutely nothing. 
I wish I didn’t tell them I had a tiny BM in the hospital. It was rectal size in my case a tiny sausage. I would have had a CT if I’d id kept my mouth shut! 

Now I feel there’s no movement at all. It’s frightening it’s like there no sensation

Like us all I’m imagining I’m blocked by Cancer AKA the Ghoul. I feel that’s an apt name for it 

Artsie,How is it going this morning?

Hi Kath 

Thanks for post. I had a bad night  but thankfully eventually the bowel woke up early hours. So much better coming down than going up. I’m just tired. That’s through sleep deprivation and liquid diet. Hopefully it’ll settle over weekend. 
How are you ? xx

I’m glad to hear the bowel has woken up.I hope you can get some rest over the weekend.Love and hugs Jane xx

Good to hear that things are improving.

Try to have a good rest and maybe some rubbish tv.
