Hello All:

I'm just writing to introduce myself. My surgery was in April of

2002. I've had problems since day one. So much so that I flew cross

country to visit MOM's Dr. OH out in Wash. State. I won't go into

all of my problems right now because I have a situation that's really

getting to me.

I have two marginal ulcers in my pouch and I'm having a really hard

time taking Iron and Zinc. They're killing me. I've tried taking

them with food but as you know we can't injest too many types of food

with iron because it might interfere with the breakdown. I've been

living on Protein Drinks and Saltines.

My blood platelets keep dropping and my Doctor thinks it may be from

the Zantac, Prilosec or Nexium that I've been taking for the ulcers.

So, I've stopped them for the past few months until I take my next

blood test.

I can't take any type of pain killers not even Tylenol. I need knee

surgery but because I'm caring for my 89 yr old father I can't see my

way clear to surgery at this time.

Would a couple shots of Carafate or Maylox interfere with the

absorption of the iron before I take it? Also what type of pain

killers could I take that wouldn't kill my pouch?

Thanks for listening.

Roe,

Sorry for all the problems. My hematologist told me that it may actually be

better for me to take my iron after food....something about it splashing up

into the duodenum or not just running through.

I wouldn't take it with the Maalox, because it seems one of the functions of

Maalox is to " coat " the stomach.

Take care,
