Short bowel syndrome question/Starting IVs

[Guest guest]

I have a friend with an ileostomy who recently started seeing elevated LFTs.

She was diagnosed with C-diff a few weeks ago and has just finished a

Vancomycin course.

Could any of you with an ileosomy offer suggestions to " slow things down " ?

She needs IV fluids to maintain hydration. Are there foods to avoid,

supplements that help, etc.

Also, there was quite a discussion on finding veins a couple of months ago.

The only suggestions I remember are warm compresses and liquids. Were there

any others?

Thanks for your help.
