Re: What to expect when introducing foods?

[Guest guest]

I should clarify too. I don't have UC or IBD. I was told by one of my gastros

that I have IBS, but I'm still not convinced that's the problem.

The main issue I'm dealing with is really bad anal leakage. I have abdominal

problems and some slight constipation and diarehaa, but that I can handle. What

I can't handle is the constant leakage of liquid and mucous. I go through

several pairs of underwear a day, and I can't even think about leaving the house

for more than a half hour without having huge underwear stains. Is there anyone

out there with this particular symptom?

improved?

day with severe leakage.

Could you be impacted? This happens with kids with encopresis. They are actually

so blocked up that liquid stool leaks around the blockage and they have

" accidents " .

Before they respond to any dietary treatment, they have to be " cleaned out " with

enemas.

I would not recommend you do this unless you knew for sure, but if you are

blocked up with constipation you can " leak " around it.

For that level of mucous, you should seriously consider

eliminating all dairy. Not eating any of it - including

the SCD legal stuff. That level of mucous is a sign of

an ongoing inflammatory response and milk

exacerbates all that.

You need to be making broths for yourself -

bone broths cooked 12-24 hours so that they

gelatinize. They are soothing for inflammation

and help to repair the gut lining.

And you should take probiotics. I would

try acidophilus and s. boulardii as well.

Have you done the yeast spit test?

Joe,My husband didn't have the constant leakage in the same way, he had VERY urgent BMs and if he didn't get to a toilet immediately, he would have a problem. He also had some drainage for a while after having a seton stitch put in place (to help a fistula). With that, he would tape a gauze pad over the opening and changed it several times a day. Have you thought about trying adult pads like Depends? It might at least alleviate the stains on your clothes and allow you to go out for awhile. It isn't ideal, but it will maybe allow some sense of normalcy until you heal more and give yourself time to see progress.AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Sat, May 29, 2010 11:01:58 PMSubject: Re: What to expect when introducing foods?
