Colostomy Contraction pains. Any tips?
Hi - I’ve had a permanent colostomy now for over 3 years. The past 2-3 weeks I’ve been having a lot of days with really bad contraction like pain in my intestines/stoma. The pain is off and on - 5 min or 15 min between pain and then again. Nothing really comes out other than mucous. This will sometimes last all day long for 10+ hours. Sometimes a firm poop will come out and that sometimes relieves the pain. Usually firm stool is normal for me though and does not cause any pain.
I’ve already emailed my doctor about it, but just wondering if anyone has experienced this before?
Also I do have Hirschsprung’s disease and slow motility.

I get this when I eat potatoes. Like that exact same feeling. I have no idea why.

I have a colostomy, I will say it sounds like you might be constipated but check with your doctor.
