Thank you all.  

I am 11 months post take down hopefully it will settle down soon.  It really bothers me most when I go to bed at night it just gets all active and won’t let me sleep even though I don’t eat after 6pm.  Any suggestions on how to quiet down the gut activity at night please share. I having such a hard time falling asleep, don’t want to take sleep meds everyday.

Worried every thing has taken my body twice as long to heal as normal so I am concerned it’s going to be another year but sure hope not.  I am also still dealing with and open ostomy wound site that had been treated by wound care specialist unsuccessfully and revised once by colon surgeon once but still not healed up so now getting ready for another wound revision.  Ongoing nightmare, so sick of it all.  Thanks for letting me vent.

I believe that vitamin c helped me alot to heal.I take a  1000mg tablet with echinacea 5 days a week.I remember my surgeon looked so pleased when he saw how well my ileostomy wound had healed.they left the wound open with a drawstring like stitch to let it drain and it closed within a month.
