Reply to "Lomotil"

Hi Kara,

Nice to hear that you are finally on the 'other side' of the surgery and finally healing.

I know that I was prescribed and took Lomotil prior to having my k pouch and that it slowed my bowels down significantly (slows the bowel motility) but that is just about all that I can remember...

No idea why it is prescription unless it is an opiate derivative (opiates slow bowels)...if you are 'running like a faucet' and your body does not have the time to absorb what you are eating then it is a very good thing to be on Lomotil...generally, us K pouchers need the opposite...We need to keep our output liquidy but your case may be different...

Just make sure that once you are on it that you chart your output and that it does not get too slow or thick for you to intubate...at the moment, you should be very 'in & out' with your catheter and not suffering to intubate...So keep an eye on it.

Heal quickly
