post surgery
Hi
I had an illeocecal resection in December and once recovered have been feeling much better apart from still having regular D. I had a couple of public 'accidents' which I wont go into!! When I had my recent check up my doctor said D was normal after the op and he prescribed me Questran - anyone had this and can tell me what its like? I havent started to take it yet.
I havent been put on any maintenance medication following my op - the doctor said he will see me again in September to review me but he recommends that in about a year I have a colonoscopy so they can see what is going on and decide then whether there are any signs of active crohns flaring up again. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to assist in preventing it flaring again but he didnt really have any suggestions - just wondering if anyone can recommend anything? I was considering changing my diet - I read about the SCD but not sure if that would benefit me post surgery or whether its only useful when you are having symptoms.
Thanks so much xx
