I posted about this already but now I have an appointment with my GI in morning. I have been on liquids for last 3 days which sucks I can't afford to loose anymore weight. Here's what I want to ask is it common to have massive amounts of stinky gas with a partial blockage or an abscess?? I'm going poo very little I mean very little but I'm also not taking any food in. Another thing I noticed it when I do go it kind of burns by my belly button who've os close to where my colon is distended it looks weird. It's all on my left side where my stricture is. Also it's making my lower back hurt is that normal? Not as bad today as it was yesterday but still a little pain I have not vomited or been sick I just feel like crap from not eating I think Friday was the worse I feel a little better as I go but why does the colon burn? Is it ulcers or what? I'll know more tomorrow as I am sure he admit me to hospital for test. Just looking for others experiences and what's with the destended colon is that food backed up my has passing is fowl sorry for tmi.
 
Hi. Sorry, I have no experience with this issue.
I hope it gets sorted out quickly. Sending you my support.
 
I also have a stricture and find I get pain round my back and also in my left side. I get stinging pains as well. I haven't been sick either, but am on a low fibre diet, watch the Tramadol as they can block you. Are you taking Paracetamol as well? I find the soluble ones the best. Distended colon can be a blockage or partial blockage, it is typical with strictures. Are you going to have the stricture dilated.
 
I don't know what he's doing that's funny u mentioned tramadol I actually take that guess not doing myself any favors I've moved to heating pad but that makes my bowel sting also

You might find the Xanax helps. It should help relax the bowel or at the least relax you. You need to ask about treatment for the stricture. Dilation has helped me in the past, you cannot go on like this.
 
Yes I know Im getting close to losing my insurance due to divorce I'm greatful I have it long enough to get this treated. On the other had I have applied for social security disability I hated doing it I can't make even close to the money I make with my current job but averaging missing 1 day of work a week and the medical insurance from it will help
 
Glad you went to ER, hope that they find out what is wrong. Hospital is the best place for you at the moment
