Good luck Mark. Hoping the surgery brings you many years of relief.

Hi Sharon.. I think it's great you've come this far. Big hug. Keep going, don't give up. Maybe try weaning off the chewing habit by switching to a nicotine lozenge? Maybe chewing is a habit in and of itself. You're already thinking of taking the next step. You're already leaped over...

My IBS diagnosis quite literally nearly killed me. And I'm not saying that in any exagerration. Boy oh boy was the Emergency Room resident reprimanded! Hell, the nurse chewed him out verbably! Flashback to January 1990. Friday night. After experiencing severe pain, I went on a Friday night to...

Sorry to hear about your double digit daily bathroom visits. In the same boat here many a day. Ensure is better tasting now that it's switched to the plastic bottles over the tin cans. I only get the chocolate or mocha versions. Some of the pharmacy or supermarket house brands are okay too.

Had a really tough past six days. Finally was able to successfully eat (and pass) solid food today. Felt almost as painful as a blockage. Had to take off work.

Hello rollinrock28, Sorry to hear things have deteriorated to the point that you require surgery. Ressection of the ileum is very common -- many here have first-hand experience. I had a double ressection (duodenum and ileum) and enjoyed a good 15 or so years of minor problems. Unfortunately...
