Contains 0.3111 mg Hyoscyamine, 0.0582 mg Atropine, 0.0195 mg Scopolamine and 48.6 mg Phenobarbital. A barbiturate/mixture. What bothers me the most as I read patient reviews is the majority complained about being comatose...the funniest review was: "I do not recommend this to anyone who...

what are the causes other than IBD ? Im asking here coupled with my own research as I need a crash course. And has anyone used Donnatal? Thanks.

I hope the doctors give you what you are requesting.. a dietician, a visit from your stoma nurse. I also hope you can go home soon - sorry you are back in but I have to agree with everyone... "better safe..." you know the rest :)

yes, I have most definitely had similar experiences. Just because your tests are coming back "normal" doesn't mean what is going on is "normal". Sorry for trying to be supportive.

trust your body :)

Thank-you Marisa. I have learned that it is much easier to fight for other people than it is ourselves. I suppose because I am really close to this issue.. and you are right.. I did find my voice! One thing I didn't mention is that the GI nurse told me that when the OBGYN did the surgery...

ha..thanks Misty :) Yesterday was a rough day with pain, no sleep, a lot of crying, (lost 6 pounds this week-end) and BS from receptionists and nurses. I haven't spoken to any of the doctors. And I couldn't get any appointments with any of them.. If it weren't for the worsening pain and the...

Andrea, ...ask Dex how to find them...he knows :D

no - this is barium I think. But I know what you mean with wanting to get the stuff down an easier way. I found it the colder the better and to drink fast...I timed myself and tried to beat my last time with each new cup.

I just got off the phone with the GI nurse and apparently I have irritable bowel Syndrome. She said he wants me to take Donnatal. I have had t before - it didn't work.

Hey Awbrey What are your thoughts on having a pill cam done? How do they do that did they tell you? Hang in!!!

perhaps send our doctors here while we are at it :D I sometimes think people choose not to believe it because it is too difficult to see us go through pain...so it is easier not to believe what they say... denial on their part. I'm not sure... I mean, I read the thread about relationships...

Hey crushing yep. I dont have any family. No relatives at all so my support system is small. I think that is why I value here so much and I had to get advocates. They are very helpful taking me or meeting me at doctors appointments, etc. I have lost some friends (but figure they weren't...

there is: rate your doctor . com. Only the problem with that is it is very biased b/c people who had good experiences with their doctor wouldn't really take time to write a good report - they are busy living their lives. I suppose it would be a helpful guide. I am waiting for the call from...

And Marisa...you dont need to apologize. You didn't over step boundaries at all... I asked for advice, feedback, suggestions.. I think I was frustrated that what you had pointed out is correct..they told me to drink milk based drinks and take painkillers and flax seed all the while telling me...

I really do not like confrontation..especially when it is with people of power...and with people who have my health in their hands. I am doing better now. Thank-you everyone. A little anxious about the call tomorrow from the nurse. What if they tell me to find a new GI?? That could mean...

I just fired my GP and the advocates put in a referral for their GP. It is a temporary thing until I can get a new one. I also called the GI's and the reception was not happy with me and told me very sternly that the GI does not request anything from the surgeon. The surgeon does what the...

I havent been sleeping and she woke me out of sleep. When she told me who she was she said there were no results to give that I need to speak directly to my OBGYN on my post op appointment. I asked her "wait.. didnt she take biopsies? My GI thinks I have Crohn's" and she said no that there...

I just received a call from my OBGYN's office. She did not take any biopsies for my GI because she dod not receive anything from him asking her to.
