a week in the hospital. Came in for being distended, gas, burping, pain, could not eat. Started first with serve gas and burping, D, and bloody mucus, had scope, mild pouchitis. Did a course of augmentum and after finishing 4 days later this happens. They did X-ray, MRI with contrast, pouch scope, endoscope. GI says pouch, Surgeon said pouch is fine, endo showed mild inflammation in stomach. Maybe that's the cause. I'm getting no answers. Every time I eat I have pain. Had this 5 years ago and ended with adhesion removal surgery. But surgeon does not want to go in until everything and anything is ruled out. Starting over, back on liquids and to progress. Maybe I should have posted in rant and rave. If anyone had a similar experience please post.

Ally, I'm so sorry you are having a difficult time.  I hate it when they can't figure it out and everyone is arguing.  Go ahead and rant, it's good for you, and we are hear to listen!  Go for it.

 

sorry I don't have any suggestions.  I do hope they find some answers and you feel better soon.  No one wants to be in the hospital in the summer!

 

Hi Gin,

I am so sorry...this stinks.

I do not remember if you still have your galbladder or not??? It sounds rather like it could be and we seem to have a higher incidence than most for galbladder problems...have they checked? 

By the way, it doesn't always show on the tests...there are also bile duct problems that give the same problems...(just throwing ideas out there)

Do not let them scare you...Get the tests done and then fight for answers...my favorite old GP used to give me activated charcoal and artichoke extract to relive that sort of symptom...it worked rather well.

Stay Zen Gin, 

I hope that they figure this out quickly and that you get the answers that you need....

Hugs

Sharon

Had a pelvic MRI last night and tomorrow at gastric emptying study. I'm scared. is it the pouch gone bad, adhesions pulling and causing all the gas, pain, nauseau, or is it something else or all of the above. I'm not getting better. I came in with all the classist adhesion ie distended, nauseau, small output, pain, burping, farting. Why r they making such a big deal out of this.
