Yes, it can become a life and death situation, which is exactly what happened to me. My sigmoid perforated, and I had a fistula through my left fallopian tube. I was in seriously bad shape. My suggestion is don't wait til it's an emergency. (understatement of the year) You can have them...

Sounds uncomfortable Perse. When is your follow up visit to your surgeon or GI?

Yes! The first couple weeks I had 'bits' come out. :eek2: The mucus poops were only occasional for me. But it is normal.

They forgot to warn me about that too! Yes, you may pass stool out the back passage for a brief amount of time after surgery. For one thing, you probably had some left in your bowel. You may also pass mucus periodically.

We're all rooting for you! I'm sorry you need to go through this, and I know you would much more like to be anywhere else than going through this. I can only wish you the best for your proceedure, and may you heal quickly and find health and a life time of remission. :ghug:

Very nice! Let's hope he gets his company up and running and is successful.

Yes, they are red heads! Love em! My profile picture is Odie at 9 weeks of age.

Right now I have 2 Irish Terriers. Normally we have between 2 and 3. But because I do Reiki and Animal Communication...there can be more! No cats allowed in here, the Irish would terrierize them!

Zippity doo daa! Wonderful stuff those butt facials! Yes, all my paws are crossed...indeed they are. (we have lots of paws in the house)

Debbie, I know you don't want to hear this, but you may need to go back to hospital. Not being able to eat or move around is not good at all. I just think it will ensure you will be seen and treated immediately and that IS what you need. Being in agony like that isn't conductive to you...

Debbie very sorry to hear this. You've been through so much already! I can only say, don't let them just say it will get better over time. It is ok to be a squeeky wheel in a case like this if you are suffering. Is the wound still open? If so, what packing is being done? You aren't alone...

Echoing the advice above. It's pred...it usually always works. I'm surprised they haven't given you the butt facials before this tbh. Relax, let it do it's work. We have all our digits crossed. :hug:

On a sticky at the top of this subforum are the UK manufactures numbers. They happily send out samples Anna. :)

Glad you are feeling a bit better Cindy! I have that liquid poo thing frequently and I appreciate all the ileosta's too! Is that a word...well, yes a new one.

We actually have a subforum here dedicated to that: http://www.crohnsforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=288 Its the diet subforum.
