emptying and or delaid emptying
 Login/Join 
Posted
Most of the time I feel like I empty fairly easy. Sometimes I empty a little and wait alittle bit and I feel a little rumbel on my right side and it seems to move to the left and then I empty alittle more, this might take several min. and happen a few times to feel empty. It almost feels like my pouch is in sections and empties one sec. at a time. I do alittle bowl dance while sitting that seems to help,does this happen to any of you?

Definitely!
I used to feel as if my pouch was made like a pair of lungs...with 2 chambers. The first emptying easily and the 2nd needing a wiggle-hoola dance. It varies according to gas/contents etc. Some days I woshh out all the contents in a minute and others it just doesn't want to empty and I give up and go back an hour later. It drives me nuts when I have to go out and I know the pouch is just not ready.

I find that flushing my pouch with water helps a lot so I do that because I also HATE the idea of going back in an hour later. I also push on my belly below the stoma and that usually helps push out air.

Yep! I do some funky turns while sitting on the pot and also found if I have my cath in and lean way forward then back, much more will continue to flow. It's all about gravity or sometimes a damn unchewed food chunck.

I also hate the idea of going back an hour later - so maddenning! Irrigation does help, I am so lazy about doing that often enough!
