Hey all
I've had a colostomy for around 8 years. Last night and most of today I've been suffering from severe but intermittent abdominal cramps usually followed by some output from my butt.
Last night i expelled what we call a bolus, an unusually large one or clump of it. This happens every couple of months but never accompanied by cramps. Cramping continued for hours along with some kind of slimy output. Today I actually had another good sized bolus also cramping.
The cramps are less frequent as is the pain and output from my stoma is normal and good.
I'm curious if anyone's ever had something like this. I don't think I need to see a doctor as it's improving but if it continues I will.
