My surgeon was so happy with my enema results that he started recommending it to his residents and his patients. QofL is so often left out of the equation. We are alive, be grateful. A statement made by someone who has never gone to the washroom 20 to 30 times a day - day after day. Been a hostage t...

I think of Eric, and many others everytime I come here. My life is better because of people I never "met", yet they became people I "knew". People I would never recognise walking down the street, but could tell you things that even their closest family members didn't know about t...

I am not saying other remedies will not work, for many people they have. All I know is I tried many of them, and my quality of life did not improve. I read how some people are able to get to an ok point, but they have eliminated most of the foods they enjoy to get there. I guess I don't understand t...

So sorry to hear this. I could def see popcorn being a culprit. One of my fav foods, and one that well over 4 years I still can have issues with. And I rarely have issues (daily enema). You might want to wait a konth and try the popcorn again...at home :shock: butt co grats because overall,,,you are...

Daily enema all the way!!!! 20 to 30 was my norm. too. Now...30 minutes and done. I can eat almost anything,,,,big salads I save for home consumtion just un case. PM if you want deets

I know this is easy for me to say...butt...don't borrow trouble. Words of wisdom shared with me long ago. Right now, in this moment,,,,you do not 100% have cancer. Until you are told otherwise,,,,you do not have cancer. I know it is scarey given what they found,,,,but you have to stay in the NOW. I ...

Look at your recovery victories in weeks, not days. I felt 2, 4 and 8 were the big weeks. You will have days that take you backwards....thats ok. Keep your eye on the big picture...good luck

Guess I am lucky I have had both,,,,so people are right no matter what they call it...but I feel ya...

Look up my thread on my husbands neuropathy. Yes,,,it is medication based, butt a creme that you apply to the area, not an oral drug, so no side effects. He went from looking at perm disability one day to back to work a couple of days later. AMAZING.

Still having a hard time processing this one.

"Dude, I just ate you." Classic BB, and still makes me chuckle.

Oh Eric,,,,you left your mark. You made people smile. You are missed.

Anne, we have discussed your tummy issues a few times, but i cant remember if you ever said if you tried taking a gas x type pill before you do an enema? The reason i ask is because they work by taking all the little bubbles of gas and forming one big bubble that you eliminate. I wonder if you took ...

You might want to try less water. I had that issue at the beginning and my surgeon suggested trying less and it worked. I got the same result with half the amount. Good luck.

HaPpY DaNcE!!!!!!!!

Hey Judy,,,,,thank you for the kind words. I am sooooo happy you have found your new normal, and that it works for you. After everything we have all been through, problems running to the loo is just not right!!!! I hope anyone suffering like we USED TO knows they have nothing to lose...by giving it ...
