After another trip to the doctor's office yesterday, followed by 6 hours in the ER so I could have a CT with contrast, I am still left with pain level of 10 and no relief in sight.
3 rounds of dilaudid and no relief. Good news no obstruction and now only mild inflammation in my ileum. However that does not explain this excruciating pain in my lower right side. I have been reading about liquid diets. I am diabetic and none of my doctors from the GI to the GP have any dietary advice despite me having asked all 4 people I have seen in the last week. I am also very overweight so I don't need high calories or high sugar.
From your own experience do liquid diets help? Is there any resources out there I have missed that might help. I am still really new (May 21 2014 dx) to this. It is clear that pain medications aren't working so any advice would be so much appreciated.
