Re: BrownBagger ....... I don't know what to say

I am having trouble processing this, like so many of you are. Eric lived his life as he rode his bike...always looking ahead, but all around as well. He knew that to keep from falling you had to be balanced, and he did that so well. He peddled hard on the big tough hills life threw at him, but he co...

Re: Is bowel regularity possible after reversal?

When I started the daily enema, it was a few weeks before a trip...I was sure it would be ruined as I would be in the bathroom 20 - 30 times a day. 2 weeks into perfecting the enema routine, I can say my trip went off without a hitch. 30 minutes once a day and I could do whatever I wanted, eat whate...

Re: Diarrhea after ileostomy: IBS-D or LAR syndrome

Have you tried the quiz for LARS? I know someone posted it on this site, but you can also google it. Nothing is 100% but it might help to give you some direction about LARS

Re: Wanted to share my husband's neuropathy med -it works!

My husband's response is that for him it takes away the pain, the feeing of frost bite...the intense pins and needles. He can wear socks and shoes...without it...these things are almost impossible.

Re: Wanted to share my husband's neuropathy med -it works!

Hi there...I am not a doctor so I can't say if this has preventative abilities, but there is always the possibility that your mom won't need it!! Not everyone ends up with this issue, and for many people it happens later, not from minute one. Keep this thread in mind, but for now, my thoughts are to...

Re: Wanted to share my husband's neuropathy med -it works!

Our insurance covers 80%...so we pay about $18 and the jar lasts 4 - 5 weeks. My husband had another emergency surgery a month ago and the creme has once again been a life saver. He cant imagine his life without it. I agree that I thought more people would have found this topic of interest...but may...

Re: For the newbies and the less active

Wooo Hoooo for you!!!!! Goals....a wonderful thing!

On another note...did you see my thread on the crème my doctor gave my husband for his neuropathy?? It took him from a pain of 9/10 down to a very manageable 2. It might be worth trying...

Re: LAR Surgery and Syndrome

I understand your thought process...I thought long and hard before going for the reversal, and if you have searched daily enema, as I am sure you have, you will see my name come up frequently. Some call me the Enema Queen :shock: . There are actually a few of us here that live the enema lifestyle. I...

Re: Laproscopic sigmoid resection rectopexy, constipation, complications, daily enemas

I am sorry you are having such a difficult time. (((((( )))))) Being pregnant should be a happy time....
