I know right. SO so lucky. She gets the good wine. That's funny. lol Man I'd love a glass of oaky cab but won't drink a drop of alcohol treating. It's been a longggg time. lol It's worth it though...
WOW great information ALL. THANKOU SO MUCH. You've all supplied extremely valuable information for me. Personal experience plus data. I SINCERELY appreciate it!...
Hi Deejavu, Your post preface runs in the same vein as Girlie's link above. Her article highlights most Canadian pharma meds are made abroad. And it also explains they actually don't have to...
Hi onlynamenottaken, (such a cute name :) ) GREAT personal experience information thankyou. So you've purchased a lot from abroad. Yes, the woman that got my antibiotics in Mexico informed me some...
Hi Girlie, WOW THIS IS EYE OPENING THANKYOU. Always a learning curve....and just when I think I'm no longer naive to the ways of the world. lol Seems most pharma products are made abroad. I wish...
Hi RainyCloud, I'm no good with acronyms. What is API? And thankyou....
Hi Vancouver Island Girl! Yaye, yes MR is returning. What a relief for us BC'ers hey. I had no idea they weren't made here simply because prior to this post, to get the climate on it a few months...
Hi guys. Curious if anyone has. Naively, I always thought antibiotics etc., bought in Mexico were manufactured in CAD or US. I've since learned they are manufactured in Mexico. So I then read a few...
Hi Seashell, I have no large intestine. I had redundant colon. Instead of the average 5 ft I had about 9. It was all flaccid, all huge and had no muscle motility. My background is serious fitness....
Hi Seashell, Kind of you to come by with such specifics. Yes, I'd finally googled and read that loops are bad this way and mucus goes down the distal hole and ultimately forms hard dry bowel in...
Hi, I made quite a splash (no pun intended) the last time I was here so some of you may remember me. :) Okay here goes:> Loop Ileostomy Gal. Okay, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months post op, I squirted...
Interestingly, there is much information on cancer, auto-immunes, stemming from titanium implants corroborating what I posted above. Here is another one linking cancer with dental titanium implants....
I was unhealthy super skinny before surgery. When I finally got surgery and could finally eat, I put on weight adding nut butters like cashew and almond butters (yum), along with peanut butter plus...
Coupled with cancer from titanium implants, one concern I have stems from knowing approx 85% of our immune health is in our gut, so what effect alone will the titanium implants have on the gut flora?...
I wish I was excited about it but I feel the same as you. The ostomy implants are made from titanium. If one googles titanium teeth implants, hip implants, there are links to cancers as well as...
Hi, This may or may not be what you are explaining but I'll explain my deal for you to compare. I am thin, I have an ileostomy. Just above my stoma, on my abdomen, I have a bulge. Like the skin...
Hi and thankyou for coming by! I posted there but no one responded to my post....
Hi again! :) Okay, here's my confusion and more specifics. 1) He is 1 of a small group of gastro surgeon specialists. 1of 4 of our top surgeons in only one hospital in the city and they are part of...
Hi Bye Bye! Thankyou so much! I really appreciate your kind words! :)...
Hey you! :) Well, my surgeon doesn't think it's a high likelihood to success :( due to anismus BUT, if there is a chance I won't get short bowel if it doesn't work, I want to try it......that risk...
Do you remember I asked him 2 specific questions due to his concern I could have short bowel syndrome potential if pouch doesn't work and I have to go back to ileo? My questions were: 1) Do I in fact...
Hello again, My apologies taking so long to respond. I have to thankyou for sharing your experience. Thus far you are the only person that has responded with my conditions. I guess I'll wait back...
Geeze I wondered about them as well. I guess I'll give them a shot but no expectations really. It's not looking like they have a handle on filters yet lol....
I echo "they don't work". I ended my sample experiments now using the Mio Assura which is the older model of Mio Sensura as I can't do the new model I'm allergic to flange and bag cover and found...
Hi, you are the first with my same two conditions. Holy smokes I'm quite shocked. Yes, I tried botox and BF. My small intestine is normal though. Just Lg colon inertia? Same with you? I'm waiting...
Hi I remember you Virdent! :) Long time no see! Okay YOU first. Why are you going back to ileo? Weren't you biking and super active too and posted you are so happy with J Pouch? Did something happen...
Hi Bye Bye, Well, I joined "Ileostomy and J Pouch Support Network" as I misunderstood thinking that was the only group on FB and it pulled up first. I've gotten a few kind remarks and one woman had a...
Hi Bye Bye yes I found it. I joined the wrong one but was accepted. I'll try J Pouch now and see if I can get accepted there as well. I understand. I don't feel comfortable either posting public...
Hi Notsosicklygirl, Yeah, I'm interested to know the answers to those questions too. It may take him a week, but as soon as I hear back, I'll post his answers. I hear what you're saying about J Pouch...
Hi Notsosicklygirl, So good to see you too. Yeah, I've grave concerns about this. It's not my small intestine that is the problem aspect as to his concern for the "not working" aspect though. He is...
Hi Bye Bye, I think I put in request at the wrong site. I put one in at "ileo and JPouch". So there is one that is just J Pouch? Question for you, I did my request to join on a different FB account...
Hi Bye Bye, Good to see you. Thanks for the kind words and direction. I did post this today on Jpouch.org but no reply yet. However, I was unaware of FB group. Going there now. Good call. I don't use...
Hi, I really need shared experiences. Thankyou. If you read my sig you see exactly what happened, where I'm at. Yesterday July 26th/2016, met surgeon. I am 7 mos out of 2 emergency surgeries for...
Research done on Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics which explains the painful side effects. Mainstream is unaware of this information. The the class of antibiotics that includes the name-brands and generic...
Hey Blk Steeda and others taking Fluoroquinolones like Cipro or Levaquin or considering Cipro or any Fluoroquinolone if you have not yet started it. Cipro is from a class of drugs called...
Hi Wahaab Chaudry, This is an old thread. All of the responses above you are from 2007. That said, I have a great deal of empathy for you. You're just a kid is right. 15 is too young to have to go...
Hi Mike, I had the ileosigmoid anastomosis as well blksteeda. Same procedure as Mike. Initially I was told it was ileorectal anastomosis just like you said NCOT. I worked great without a bag but very...
Thanks everyone for posting your experiences and the rest of the information. I sincerely appreciate it. VG...
Yeah, I'm interested to. Metabolic consequences......you'd think they'd have done this stuff a long time ago.............. After my test and learning this new info I'm much more aware of certain...
Okay, thanks NCOT. The norm for some of us with the enzymes and the other. Appreciate it....
I've read this can happen. It has happened me, I think.................my high output loop ileo has made my otherwise normal enzymes, actually go up. I had a lab. This is also referrenced in the...
Yeah, ileos are exhausting for some of us. Mine is like yours was. My ileo only stops the next day, if I stop eating at 5 pm. Then around 12-2 pm the next day it stops completely which means that is...
Sandie I just want to ask notsosicklygirl a question I hope you don't mind. Notsosicklygirl, when you had your loop, did you ever try just paste and then the wafer over just the paste? I'm finding...
Hi, it has taken me 3 months to the day out of surgery to get 3 days out of my appliances with a loop ileostomy. Constant leaking under Eakin and to wafer. I saw 2 nurses but ultimately figured it...
For starters, exactly how many mg of protein a day is your mother allowed to have that won't worsen her kidneys? I have a shake called VEGA Proteins and Green. It has 20 mg of protein. I don't know...
Yes, I couldn't agree more. And with doctors not getting the truth passed to them, we don't get honest info to make an informed decision for ourselves. It's a mess. Just remember if you get another...
Hi Christine, I'm glad you could wean off the way you did! :) It really all depends on how much the brain has changed, the dependency. Many have to go much slower, taking the pill daily, cutting...
Just a bit more history for you Tom and others interested. A court case won in UK due to benzo side effects. (Remember, sleep pills go to the same receptor site. Therefore same potential.) Settlement...
Hi Tom, you're welcome and I'm glad I can pay this information forward. I really don't think you can call yourself a "low information person" however. Your doctor didn't know the truth about the drug...
