yikes! I developed paralytic ileus 2 weeks ago from a medication (an anti spasmodic I should never have been given). I stopped the medication and ate soup broth for a week and it seemed to get better for about 5-6 days. But now the past week again,I can't eat anything without my stomach blowing up like a balloon and the place where my ileostomy is bulging out bigger than everywhere else. It literally feels like something is being twisted up and I can feel all my scars being yanked every which way inside. The pain isn't bad enough to send me to the ER (it seems to settle a few hours after eating). Is this what a bowel obstruction feels like for those who have had it? Not sure if I should go to the ER or wait and see my Dr. this week. It's fine if I don't eat but that's not a good option...
Thanks.
