Guest guest Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hi everyone, I have not posted for awhile, I am currently getting 8 days in the hospital IV iron because my iron stores are " 1 " . The docs ask me how I am even walking. I am on disability and doing nursing consulting independently. I can't eat most of the time. I have right upper quadrant pain after eating most things even drinking. I have a megacolon, that needs treated with a ileostomy if I ever gain any weight. I'm to the point now that I don't even want to eat. How do you all get along with this disease. I also have cystic fibrosis with all of the malabsorption problems. I can't find a good nutritionist, to help me. I do hyperals at night time when I'm not able to eat. I stay away from fat and now my blood sugars are elevated at night time only and that is without TPN. They run about 180. I eat a lot of hard candy at night time and the physicians told me to stay away from concentrated sweets, but that is so hard. How do you all do it, give me some pointers, I don't want to die but I'm headed there if I don't get this turned around. Prayers to all.
