Reply to "Admitted for obstruction"

Here's my recent story; may help, may not. After 13 years with an ileostomy with no problems, I began to experience partial blockages--3 in one week. I was directed by my primary care physician to see a gastroenterologist (I didn't have one). The gastro recommended an endoscopy to start with. After this procedure I was informed that I had 3 ulcers in my stomach--totally shocked! I am now on Prilosec for three months. Then I was sent for a CT Scan and an MRI. Both revealed no problems with my small intestine. I do have a small, seemingly benign, lesion near my liver and it was recommended that I have a repeat MRI in 6 months. Things have returned to normal, but now I'm careful of eating anything with high fiber. I am no longer experiencing partial blockages. Maybe the ulcers were the cause.

We live in a very stressful world and the gastro mentioned that he is seeing many more patients with stress related gastro issues. Who knows?

Wishing you all the best,

Caty
