hi cherylk i seem to ave up nd down days at the mo, theres days i feel rather gd, then other days am just so tired etc. they have taken me off the anti-b`s at long last. been off them for 2 days nows, but have had really bad b/ms since yesterday, nurse today says it will be coming of them, she said 2/3 days should be the end of it.if not stool sample to check for c diff in my gut, which would mean more anti-bs .
still take my movicol everyday morning nd nite, and still on painkillers, ave got my mri scan on monday, but am ot sure if i will get results or any indication then or will i have to wait until i see the specialist in 2 weeks time or so.its all ot so clear.
what can a mri pelic scan see anyway, can it detect poylps, hemmies, will it even see my intestines. i dont have a clue.
nurses are happy though at my healing wound. todays nurse thought another 2/3 weeks would see the end of packing, it still bleeds everyday, but not as much. i still feel sore inside, after b/m is worse it makes me jump.
my fissure have been behaving of late, but the nurses comfirm there still there.
still losing weight, 3lbs this week 11stone 10lbs now. which is scary, but i try not to think about it to much, i need to try and promote my bodyy to heal.

Dazzy,
I'll keep praying for you! You have been through so much pain and agony!! :roll: Don't worry too much about the weight. When I was too thin about a year ago I just felt like I was dying physically, emotionally, and mentally. Now, one year later, I'm a different person worrying about my bigger thighs and butt size!!! Once you get your butt and digestive issues squared away, I am sure that you also will put back on the pounds. My doctor said I am right now at a perfect weight. Could you read some books while you are healing? Right now I am reading a book called "Spiritual Healing." It talks about the mind/body/spirit connection which I truly believe in and also the meaning of illness. There may be similar books at your local lib where I picked up the book.
Sounds like your nurses are smart, and I know Tab has lots of confidence in Mr. Smith. At least you are back on the board now and can chat with all of us. Best wishes for continued healing and feeling better!!

my neighbour has just been in bless him, he went to the health food shop in my local town for them tablets that i got to her about on here last night. i gave him a print out about how first -refrigerated , second - that have special coating that can survive stomach acids and open in the guts.
he has came back with tablets called bio-acidophilus, are they the right ones

Hey buddy - good morning (here LOL). You know - they come from different manufacturers and under different names - and if they were refrigerated and on the box it says "enteric coated" they are "it" !!! Even if they were "just " refrigerated - it means that they are of very good quality and potency and some will survive your stomach than !!! You can Google more info about your particular brand and manufacturer !!! Also, never underestimate the power of the "internet" LOL - you can find any supplement that is to your liking and order it !
For now , just start taking those , and in the mean time do some research if you feel like it

sorry to be a pest guys,
can these tablets cause a bloating feeling in the lower gut. just been feeling bloated, and there the only new thing i interduced to my system. if so any pills to combat this that wont interfere with the probotics
again sorry to be a pain guys,

Derry - you are "such a pain" , I do not know what to say What are you talking about ???? This place is for helping each other LOL, yeah...it would be nice that it is a actually "techno music forum" or "dating forum" that we are all in now - but guess what LOL - we are on BUTT support forum I will do some research regarding your "air" problem since I never had that happen with probiotics and there must be "antidote" So stay tuned !!!

OK - this s what I found so far :
"For example, a 4-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 60 people with irritable bowel syndrome found that use of probiotics (friendly bacteria) reduced gas-related discomfort. 1 Probiotics are presumed to work by replacing gas-producing bacteria with others that are less likely to create gas. Note : Initial use of probiotics reportedly can increase gas production for a short time."
So, in time you should see reduction in gas, actually. For now , how about trying to take half the dose for a couple of days and than increase it. Also - I do not know what gas reducing OTC meds you have in Scotland, but there must be some - maybe Tabby knows - send her PM !There a ton here but they are probably with different brand names in Europe , so Tubby, Val and Corsi might know !!!
Wishing you gasless future

thank you fiss very kind for you to get this info to me quick smart. very kind indeed
LOL @ butt support, hehe, we are the choosen few hun, we like to meet up on different boards instead of the dating boards, least this way theres secrets to hide, its like i no everyones butts so well now, lmao

Yeap LOL- you know us more intimately that you could get to know any soul in this world We do not share those info even with all family members - so we are MORE than family here

Hey Dazzy !
I take these probitics to beat the bloat and they work a treat for me, what kind are you using Daz ?
It could be your tummy is just adjusting to them, I would like to think so !
You may well experience gas too until your tummy finds balance ! Dont worry its all good
