yesterday, I started feeling a weird dull ache on my left side. It felt like a side ache, but never went away. Now today I still have it, and am having really loud bowel sounds in my stomach. Also very gassy! Has anyone else experienced this? It is not a severe pain, just a dull ache. I am 2 1/2 months post takedown.

Try taking a hot bath and massaging your left side. Drink some grape juice just incase it's a mild obstruction, and try to lay off solid foods or high fiber stuff until you empty your pouch. That way you know things can get through before you start eating, and the grape juice should blow through any mild obstruction, if there is even one to begin with.
I get that now and again I have a continent ileo. Mine was caused by gastritis in my gut.
I went on a walk, and it is still there. I feel very bloated too. What is gastritis?
Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach. of course your situation might be totally different. Try a heating pad and hot liquids in case food is stuck?
will do thank you
