You’ve probably tried it, but my mum swears by lactulose syrup. She has cancer and a stoma and also struggles with output sometimes.

Steve, anything that starts with P will help you poop. Go get mango, dragonfruit, prunes and prune juice. Try hot fluids, and if you can.. go swim

Omg. I sleep on my left side too for this reason. I have Ehlers danlos and it’s sweet problems! I’ve realized that it helps my movement and BMs significantly, and putting a leg up while laying down, or getting a maternity pillow helps too!❤️

It isn’t a bad theory! We put people on their left side during bowel care but typically that helps their lower colon empty. As your ostomy is higher it may have been a fluke but I hope not!

I get this with my g tube, which is in the left side of my stomach. It only works if I lay on my left. Haven’t found yet if it affects my ileostomy yet!

Ive had many patients come and tell me this works for them! Eat apple sauce right before bed. Or juice. Amazing output in the mornings! Best of luck friend!!

Left side is always better for digestion than right side. It might fluctuate but as a rule of thumb it’s true. Hope you get better results soon!

It’s really admirable how you give things a chance and allow your body to work with you by listening to it.

The left side is where your bowels used to be it is the side that relieves the vagus nerve

i always make sure to lay on my left side when i have a stomache, laying that way will always aid in digestion whether it’s noticeable or not

Omg yes!! laying on your left side is best because the food can move through. Right side clogs it. If you’re in a stomach ache bout, lay on your left side!

Steve I have GERD and I was doing that 2-3 pillow method too but learned that can actually make your digestive issues / reflux worse because you’re pinching at the abdomen / hip all night and putting more stress on the abdomen which can cause acid to go up ur esophagus. Bought an incline foam wedge at cvs for like $40 and it’s a game changer. Elevates ur body at a 6-7 inch incline gradually
