I'm on the same dose post tx as I was pre tx - 1500 mg/day which was on the higher end pre tx but now I weigh a bit more. Still I think I will send this study to my hep and see what he says especially since psc hasn't been confirmed.

Blessings,

BCIR stands for Barnett continent intestinal reservoir. See

http://www.bcirostomy.com/history_t.html for the history of BCIR, and

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7774466 for a survey on it's

efficacy.

One of my co-worker's spouse had a BCIR, and ultimately had to go back

to an ileostomy due to recurring adhesions. If I remember correctly,

Barby has had very good experience with it.
