I have the exact same thing going on with me. I got my colostomy in May, too. I've decided not to worry yet because I'm not having any discomfort and am passing gas, so something is working in there. Maybe we should put a call into our stoma nurses if we continue to have output concerns. I was wondering if a salad I ate last week slowed my bowels, but seems unlikely to still be that. I have no answers, but sure do relate with you wondering what's going on. I heard blockages are very painful and that's the last thing we need after all we've been through lately. I hope we can both fill our bags tomorrow:)
