tiredtummy's Journal

So I finally got to talk to my Dr. today- he thinks this issue is because of my surgery- that I'm not doing what I should with the bile salts in my ileum... so it's causing excess water in the colon- and that is causing all the urgency and frequency....   I guess that's better than my CD being active again?  I don't get it though- if this is a surgical complication/side effect- why was I doing so well for about a month? 

Now he wants to add in cholestyramine three times a day.... and I can't take any meds for one hour after... of course I have to work in the one he wants me to take four times a day- and 1 hour before meals... so in the am- it'll be two hours before I can eat..  I'm a breakfast kinda girl... waaaa.  Keeping my fingers crossed that this will do the magic trick...  am taking Kelly aka Ackie's advice and starting a food journal- and with that accepting that I may have to just give some things up.

I see him again in two weeks- if this isn't better, he's gonna have to do a colonoscopy...

So grateful for all of my friends here, and all the support...
