thanks...
I moved to Calfornia in 86 then to Maine in Nov. 05....
Sorry CrohnieCJ (misspelled the first time)- Everything on my screen seems to be getting smaller (strange, it's happening in the newspaper, books, etc.). It's a nasty trick...
crohinecj - where in Ohio? I was born in Akron (North Hill)....
Thanks Sarah - I thought it was my imagination but I guess it's not just me. Just breezed through your blog and you are absolutely amazing! At least I know if this ever happens, I'll possibly manage...
/community/emoticons/turn.gif Well, whether the jelly beans are causing a problem or not, I haven't been able to stop eating them! I say I'll just eat one, then a dozen later I decide I'd better go...

Hi ali - Just a guess on the gas - being at work as opposed to being home may prevent you from passing gass like you might at home. If you are trying not to pass it, it builds up and causes the...
Hello alibee! I haven't been on here in so long but I was just checking on something because I'm having a defecography done tomorrow. I had the same problem with my hair and was quite worried about...
Kyle - we are all anxious to hear how you are doing. I haven't been on here in ages but I have had a spare few hours here at nuclear med with my daughter for her gastric emptying study. Kyle, she...
Alibee - I haven't been staying up on these posts so I'm not really sure if you have been on since your surgery (besides this post). I hope all has been going well, except for the ileus of course....

FYI - Just found out my grandmother has gastroparesis due to the botox injections she was having for esophagus problems. She is now having bms and doing better that way but now has a bladder...
good night all...
Kyle and Ali - good luck w/everything. i just returned home last night from visiting my Grandmother (90 in Nov.). She has been in for over a week with an ileus and had been sick at home for at least...
Ali - I my have missed somthing in your posts; do you have surgery scheduled? I hope that is moving along. Kyle - sorry life sucks for you. Hodaya- nice chattng the other day. I am anxios to hear...
/community/emoticons/cool.gif Hi y'all! Once again, will be away for a few days from computer (except for the chance at the library). I can't complain though (at least about the reason for the no...
Hi y'all! Kyle - wow - I really wish you were doing better. What do you eat on an average day? I wonder if there are some things that really aren't agreeing with your remodeled digestive system. I...
Mary, I got your text and thought it was crazy that your colon was so long too. My doctor said he didn't know if the added length was part of the cause or if it was the result of the problems. I hope...
Back at work now - Day 2...I have the burping problem that seems to happen almost every time I stand up. At least I know that's when it will likely happen. Sometimes I am caught off guard and it...
Good morning Mary - I'm glad everything is going so smoothly. Quick response due to running out the door for day 2 back at work. nanci...

Kyle - sounds like you might have rectum issues. The next time you see your doctor you might ask about physical therapy. Mine mentioned that we'd discuss it when I see him in August....
blueglass - I'm a vegetarian also. I do eat products with gelatin so I don't know if you want to count me as a veggie. I became a vegetarian when I was (misdiagnosed?) w/UC at 15. I took so many...
My next step, if things don't pick up, will be mixing the miralax with the prune juice! Look out!!!!...
Wow Tracy - I wish I could say something to make you feel better but I kind of know what you are going through. The three weeks in the hospital were torture and didn't really improve until I could...
avoiding things not on the "allowed" list. ...
18" removed from her colon. This was nearly ten years ago and she is still doing it. She told me her doctor said she needs to let it out that way to avoid built up gas. So, I guess if it has...
Thanks Hodaya - It was cold and rainy for two of the three days but the first day was beautiful. It's been unusually cold and rainy here in the New England(the very most northeastern US states)...
Mary, as far as the pain meds go, you'll need them the first couple days (at least I did). Yes, they are constipating so switch to ibuprofen and Tylenol as soon as possible. Since they like to limit...
Mary, Call me on my cell - 302-229-6925. Just not between 5pm and 730pm (I'm guessing on the end time) but I'll try you on my way home. My daughter went to a leadership camp at Husson Univ. up in...
it. I'll continue drinking it and hope it begins to make a difference. I just got home from Cape Cod about twenty minutes ago (almost midnight now). Anyway, I told my doctor about not going more...
Kyle - I still have to take Milk of Magnesia every night and only go in the morning. I'm not feeling like I'm really emptying completely but I still feel better than before the surgery. I don't go...
Tracy - Looking forward to hearing how everything went. Hopefully all went well. nanci...
Mary - Any time is fine to call today or tomorrow. (We/Th). My husband works Sa-Su-Mo - long hours and gets up at 3am....
That's okay - I didn't actually hear it but Ron did. By the time I got to it it was too late....
sorry too late and i took an ambien. i'll try tomorrow before driving to BAngor - 2 +hours hours each way....
hi mary - just got your message. I sooo wish I had done this ages ago. Actually i did go to many docs over the years but it took until this past year to get a doctor to run the proper tests. They...
I went to the doctor yesterday for my post-op follow-up. He wishes I was doing better and going on my own (w/o m-o-m) but said he'll see me in one month and do testing if I still have any problems....
Mary, I haven't been on in a while so I'm not sure where you stand right now. Are you still scheduled for the surgery on 6/29. You seem to be uncertain on the surgery. I think I asked a while ago but...
Mary, These are all minor, not major considering all we have gone through BEFORE the surgery. I am torn about calling because I really can't make it in there before Friday. I know it sounds stupid,...
Hi to all of you! your monthly problems; I didn't know (or maybe it wasn't always) that I had a tipped uterus until after I had my children. I know sometimes people have problems getting pregnant due...
Kyle, I have to be honest in saying I know longer envy you. Instead, I just want you to get better and I'm glad you are in the right place for this to be happening. It's a good thing you went back...
Mary, The doctors said it's just because of my size. I can actually feel parts of it too. I mentioned it to the doc because it kind of creeped me out whe I could see things going through that part....
/community/emoticons/shakehead.gif Kyle, That's too bad but I'm sure you'll be feeling fine before you know it. I wish they had caught it before you left. I guess because you were actually going...
Wow Mary! I can't believe the PCP even had the nerve to discuss it with your MIL. I actually don't go to the same PCP as my mom because I know she (mom) pries into my business. I just got home...
so much to read to catch up! i'm on the cape until tomorrow afternoon and I'll catch up. Kyle, make sure for cereal you aren't eating too much fiber - i think no more than 10 grams a DAY! Rice...
I'll probably switch to the Miralax after I return home on Friday. It's a quick trip to take some new cabinets down. Right now I'll stick to the MOM since I know it is working. The correctol was...
