Painful problem

I'm about a month away from being 3 years post-op and I'm having a big problem. For the past 3 or 4 days I've been having this awful pain in my pouch. I thought it was gas because the last time I felt this pain was when I was first out of the hospital and indeed it was gas but it didn't last for 3 days! I've used all kinds of products to treat the problem as if it were gas but I really don't think that's it. Whenever I eat or drink it hurts and my abdomen is distended. I thought I was too far out (post-op) to have these problems. Before this problem came on I had an intense burning (which i've been told is bile reflux) and now constant pain, nausea and dizziness. My husband is deployed so maybe I'm freaking out because I'm alone. I believe I've stretched my stoma because foods pass through freely now but my pouch still becomes blocked when I eat sometimes. Has anyone out there had this pain in their pouch and if so...what helped?

Carolyn I'm a new post op so I can't answer your question. I suggest strongly you contacting your surgeron. Something has changed and you should get checked out. The constant pain, nausea and dizziness please contact your doctor. G.

See your surgeon ASAP; my knee-jerk guess is you have an ulcer.

Thank you both for responding to my post. My surgeon was killed in Iraq and I can't seem to get in touch with any other surgeons in the hospital who are familiar with my case so I think I'm going to head to the ER because I haven't eaten or had anything to drink for almost 2 days and I'm still in this awful pain.
