Takedown a little over a week ago. Worried I have a partial food blockage

Hi all,
I am scared this morning. Last night, I had a half of a pork cutlet for dinner and started to have some weird pains after dinner where my stoma used to be. Those pains have continued this morning. I have been able to go throughout the night and this morning but it feels like its pouring out of me now. Is is possible that I have an obstruction or something else going on? I am having some tea right now but not sure if I should chance it and try to eat a little food this morning. Any suggestions would be a big help.
Thanks

You have a brand-new pouch. Anything is possible. I would start keeping a journal of what you eat and how many times a day you go to the bathroom.

I discovered I have to go more often if I eat dairy. Did you have gravy (or any milk product) with your pork cutlet? Was it a "fried" pork-cutlet?

It was a grilled pork cutlet. I did have a bowl of rice krispies for breakfast. I am not nauseous or throwing up. I am still going but noticed movements are a little bit different. Still experiencing those weird pains periodically.

You might have a partial blockage at the old stoma site, everything is still quite swollen from the recent surgery so this wouldn't be unusual. As long as you continue to have BMs and you aren't nauseous it's OK to keep eating, but I would switch to a soft diet until you feel it's resolved (yogurt, runny oatmeal, soups, etc). You can also try very gently massaging the area, a warm compress, walking, and laying on either side.

Ok so this is tmi but my bm's look like stringy mucous and I have developed a headache. I have been using heating pad and stuck to chicken rice soup for lunch. I am just nervous but don't know if I am just being paranoid.
