DO YOU HAVE THIS PROBLEM

[lovemysgt 4]

Seems when i eat i get real bloated only the top of my tummy, then the other issues i noticed is that in certain areas it seems like in my intestines you can feel lumps and they are a little sore but they pass after a little bit

Eating too much too quickly maybe?

Thread hijack? Lol. Where do you feel pulling?

Pulling may not be such an issue, you have healing incisions and stitches and they get tight and do pull when you move - just dont do anythign that really hurts them.

The other, sounds like you're not chewing enough- lumps in your intestines that are sore - is it a kind of pressure, does it move in a wave? It could very easily be big lumps on food not able to move on, that's what a bowel obstruction feels like in its very early stages. Its amazing, but with an ileostomy, you do kinda get to examine the contents of what you digest a bit more so than normal and I can tell you, with no Fluid in my band, my chewing is much more like a normal person and VERY large pieces come out - certainly entire nuts, seeds and small recognizeable pieces of vegetables! And I have had a bowel obstruction where eventually a huge mass of very fibrous matter passed - I'd eaten coleslaw - cabbage, corn, raw carrot. It caused a problem for several weeks. Your system will in general handle it, but its a sign you need to chew a lot more carefully and eat more slowly and perhaps add some liquid to help it all.
