Hi. I had an ileostomy reversal at the end of July and connection to my colostomy stoma. I've felt blocked, had lots of pain and been sick. CT scan shows the join is swollen do I am now on a soft food diet for a month. The pain has gone and I feel so much better already. I hope this helps reduce the swelling or I have to be opened up again . Perhaps you should give us a go for a couple of weeks. Good luck x

Hi, thanks for that info.  I have stopped eating red meat and reducing the amount of brown bread I eat.  So far I seem to have improved although still having to visit the loo soon after eating  ( now actually having a movement!!) so hopefully this is a step in the right direction.

Hi Cat21,

Can I ask how you've been doing since October? Experiencing something similar myself.
