    Ileostomy Reversal in 4 days..

    Hello! I'm scheduled to have my ileostomy reversed this Friday. While I'm sad to see Stewie go, I'm very excited for this because it will mark the end of a very exhausting journey. I'm also very nervous. Have you had a reversal? What was your experience? Any and all advise is appreciated...

    Ostomy clothes vs. Maternity Cloths

    Since I've had my ileostomy I've had to stop wearing jeans. No matter what style or fit I've tried, they all are uncomfortable because they either rub right in the dead center of my stoma or they cut off the "flow". So I've gotten a lot of use out of legging and dresses, especially since I've...

    Flaring again.

    I was so happy last week, I was tapering down to 20 mg Pred and 4 g Pentasa and feeling great. And then it happened.

    Newbie considering Medications

    I'm recently diagnosed, currently on 15 mg Pred (and tapering) and 4 grams of Pentasa daily. This weekend I had a really bad flare. My GI thinks we have to get more aggressive :( So that means back up to 30 mg of Prednisone (not fun, really unhappy) and waiting a few more weeks as we taper...
