Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Thx Alwyn, I'll look for this. I now live in small town and our health food store doesn't carry what I'm used to, but I'm sure they could order it if they don't have it. I also have the problem of having an illeostomy, which majorly impacts my ability to absorb the nutrients I need. My entire large colon is gone and I don't know that a small intestine can get impacted like the large one, as far as being toxic to me. You've brought up an interesting point that I will have to research. I have been having a problem with the colostomy site the last few months and ended up in the ER a few weeks ago. I'd run out of my supplies, it started leaking again and my skin was so bad, I was bleeding and in so much pain it hurt to move. I stupidly/stubbornly finished my shift at work as I was by myself that night. By the time I got home I knew I had reached my limit. With the CFS/FMS pain as well. I ended up with an IV for pain medicine, plus she gave me an RX for something stronger than what I had to carry me over. They referred me to a Gastro doc and a Rheumy doc. Both I have to wait for my appts till towards the end of June. I'd been fighting going to the ER as I didn't really believe they could help me with this. Also my dad died in that hospital last October, so that kind of freaked me out. But they were soooo wonderful to me! They really validated that by coming in, I was doing the right thing. Very unusual in these times. Thx to all for listening! Darlena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Hi Darlena, oh what a yucky business for you dear. I’m so glad the ER was able to help…things like colostomies they understand, but ME? Fahgeddaboudit! Aylwin xox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
