[Vincent Vega]

hello everyone I've had CD for 12 yrs, a stoma for the last 8 months ,just got diagnosed with peristomal hernia, which feels painful and like someones pulling on it, Anyways ive had diarrhea for like 7 weeks it wont stop im getting weaker losing weight taking like 5 times my pain meds(dilaudid) and it wont help, Should I go 2 the Hospital? is it the hernia causing this ? or separate CD flare? so fed up and frustrated my life is a nightmare since i got the bag any advice would be greatly appreciated

Yes, go to the hospital. The hernia may be causing a partial obstruction. This would cause pain and diarrhea. Better safe than sorry.

Yes, go to the hospital. All of my obstructions (20-30) were caused by my parastomal hernia.
