This is a two part question. I am dying to get some uninterrupted sleep. The past couple of nights I have taken 2 immodium to try to not have to empty my bag so often during the night. I don't know what happened, but I woke up in terrible pain. I couldn't fall back to sleep, so I took half a xanax. Two hours later, I woke up full of very liquidy stool. I got up to take a shower and change my bag. My stoma was completely in my abdomen. I have never seen it like that before. I got in the shower, and it slowly came out.

Is that normal?

What can I do to get some sleep?

Thanks in advance for your help!

It may be that something you ate, or the immodium, or the combo caused the pain and a small blockage. When my blockages pass, I usually have a period of all liquid output.

On occasion, my stoma retracts flush to the skin, but it then pops back out. Sometimes its a food thing, sometimes it happens in the shower, no real pattern, but nothing to panic about.

Hope you are doing ok today.
