Thanks for the support. I recently moved to another close city. The gastroenterologist practice is in both cities but I had to change MDs. I had my old MD for years & had a great relationship with him. So far I haven’t clicked with my new GE. I’ve researched what not to eat & try to stick with it. I guess I’m just frustrated with the unpredictability of my jpouch. I’m trying not to be housebound but I’m not confident enough to go far.
I have a Service Dog, a Rhodesian Ridgeback. She is a big, athletic, young dog & I haven’t had the confidence to take her out to the Dog Park for exercise. I make sure she gets plenty of comfort walks. She’s happy & well cared for: I’m just frustrated that I can’t give her the freedom to run & be a dog.
