bowel stopped up since colostomy

my father has had colon cancer and they finally gave him a colostomy. But lately, about 6 months after getting it he gets backed up a lot. He throws up and hecan't have a BM. We've tried laxatives and what not. I don't know where to start looking for help. He has gone to the hospital many times for a shot to get things going, but his doctor's don't know what's going on. Is this common after a colostomy? Thanks for any help!
