Thanks, guys. The Questran helps the burning but I still go to the bathroom. It's just that the doctor said we would try the paregoric. Later, when I called him, he said that there was nothing he could do because he didn't know about anything stronger. That was a lie. Why act like he had no idea about the paregoric when he suggested it? I'll go the the other GI. But, will NOT have an external bag. I'm extremely allergic. He eats the skin off my belly. I will find a doctor. I think I've found one in Florida. He does the BCIR procedures and thinks I'm a good candidate since the way I'm living now is too much and living with a bag is impossible. We'll see. I refuse to take any CD medication. I feel too good without them.
