Blockedge?

I agree. You should go to hospital. Try to go to the same Hospital where you had surgery. It could be vitamin if it's time-release tablet. I take chewable Forvia. You may want to look into it.

Why would a time release cause a blockage?

Time release capsules are designed to break down very slowly, over "time".  You need to go to the ER as it sounds like you do have an obstruction.  Have you tried all of the home remedies yet?  Walking, massage, drinking hot coffee (always worked for me).  If you are in severe pain and have not passed gas for 3-4 hours it is time to get going.

Add home remedy of laying on your left side! And agree with above...good luck. Keep us posted...

Go to the ER. I had the same issue a few weeks ago and like an idiot I tried to deal w it at home. The swelling and bloating ended up causing a bowel perforation and I nearly died because I thought I could tough it out. I was so worried about stressing my family by spending more time in the hospital that I made a poor choice. I figured the hospital would just restrict my diet, give me pain meds and iv fluids so I started my own iv drip, took some leftover Percocet, and tried the home remedies. By the time I decided to go to the er it was almost too late. Now I have another ileostomy and have to wait 6 months for another takedown.

Hospital. Now. Good luck.

Wow! I don't think it is advisable to start your own IV hydration. most folks don't have that sort of self treatment at their disposal. If things are that advanced, yes you need to be in the ER. 

 

Glad you are here to tell us about it, but again, wow!

Ya, don't try your own iv if you don't have any medical training. I've had some trauma and first responder training and it was still tough to do my own stick.

The lesson I took from this story is "don't try your own IV even if you *do* have medical training." That self-administered IV caused a delay that led to a bowel perforation. I admire the spirit behind it, but it turned out rather poorly. That abdomen now has *lots* more adhesions than before that adventure.

 

Most obstructions eventually clear up on their own if it's just kinked bowel. The ER visit can seem unnecessary if all they do is keep you hydrated. They're usually pretty good, though, at figuring out when things get bad enough to require emergency surgery.

Update: 

Sorry that I haven't been on to reply to posts. To catch everyone up I headed the hospital. I can't go to my surgeons hospital because he is In Boston and I"m now in Denver. I headed to the hospital though where my previous GI is based out out. It was good 40 minute drive which scared me. Twenty minutes into though I finally went to the bathroom and have never been so happy in my life. After that I went 3 or 4 more times and completely was cleaned out. It was weird because I thought I had a blockage. Before I had one with my stoma and went to the hospital via ambulance. All of the signs were there this time as well. I'm happy though everything passed and I seem to be okay right now. Thank you for all your input, very appreciated. The IV at home is scary though, unless you have a nurse as a wife or something. 

Thank goodness your ok
