Purging CO2 after a Pouchoscopy

Topics

StarryNight

I am having trouble purging the CO2 added during a pouchoscopy late Thursday afternoon. My abdomen is still very distended and my tummy feels like it is in a vice-grip. Gas is finally moving out, but very slowly. Any advice?

Also, can CO2 cause a partial blockage or an ileus?

The CO2 will make its way out in its own time. It shouldn't cause a blockage or ileus. The biggest risk is from straining to try to force it out.
