I've had my ileostomy since I was 19. The only sport I gave up was rugby. When I play hockey or softball I wear a protective guard over my stoma. Confirm with the doctor but I can't see any reason not to continue with sports after your reversal.

Hi and welcome. I hear you on the treatment options being so much better now. I had very little success with those treatment options.

Hi, Sorry you're feeling awful. I wouldn't hesitate to go the emergency department if you're feeling this bad. If you are thirsty all the time you are likely dehydrated. When I start getting dehydrated I drink pedialyte. It's very easily absorbed in the system. Please don't hesitate to get...

Good. Don't hesitate to head to the ER if things get bad.

Hi Ron, Sorry, I just saw your post. How are you today? Is your stomach hard and bloated? Pain coming in waves? If you are unable to keep fluids down then don't hesitate to go to the ER. Hope you feel better soon.

Hi and welcome. I've been through both. When I was originally diagnosed treatment was limited. I've had lots of issues with scar tissue. I've had more obstructions than I can count. I'm now on Remicade in hopes of preventing future problems. It's a tough decision but in my case it was a no...

Never heard of a no prep colonoscopy. Mine are no prep but I have an ileostomy.

Hi. I'm glad you applied. It is available to everyone. People on welfare and ODSP have other coverage. The deductible is based on income.

No worries Ron. :thumleft:

I don't believe Remistart is available in Ontario because we've got the Trillium Drug Program.

Hi and welcome. Sorry you're feeling so poorly. A colonoscopy with biopsies is the gold standard for diagnosis. I hope you get some answers quickly. Sending you my support.

If you cant afford medication, check the link in my signature higher up. We have the Trillium Drug Program in Ontario. It's in place specifically so people who need medication can have it, even if they can't afford it.
