I have had them many times. Marginal ulcer. OK, you know the stoma? The OUTLET

from the pouch where the intestine attaches TO the pouch? You with me? OK,

make puckered up lips. Look in the mirror. Now, make the opening about as big

as a nickel. Still got it? HOLD that position. Now, put your finger in the

opening. Wherever your finger is touching, THAT is the " margin " of where the

intestine has been attached to the pouch. The stoma or anastamosis. We will

call it a stoma.

OK, so now we know WHERE it is. WHY did they not see it pre-op? It wasn't there

yet. You didn't have a stoma. WHY did it appear so quickly? In a distal like

mine, they can appear within 24 hours. Usually do within 7 days. 's

probably did, as she had the symptoms right from the start. Nausea and/or

vomiting, everything tastes metallic, water feels like sandpaper, might be pain

that feels like you've been kicked, might have back pain------- with me, just

nausea & finally, the kicked pain.

So, now we know WHERE it is and WHY it is there. Or how it got there. AS to why

you? Some do, some don't. The hunk of intestine that is now the stoma WAS

further down the food chain and accustomed to receiving processed foods, all

nice 'n wrapped in saliva & gastric juices. Now, it has been cut and sent to

the front of the line where it is receiving unprocessed anything. YOW! Freak

out! Irritation! Turn everything bright right! Reject! Reject! And so it

swells. And so the opening is now no longer nickel sized. Now you have to

stick your pinky finger in, then a pencil, then a pencil lead as the ulcer

swells & eats up that once nickel sized hole.

FURTHER, while we had your lips puckered & fully functional, in order to move

the food from the pouch, your stoma (lips) make like fish-lips and open/close

(peristalsis), which pulls the food down into the intestine and moves it on down

the line, conveyor belt fashion. That is how it SHOULD work?

Ever had a canker sore? Well, NOW, your nickel is pencil sized, and what

opening is left has now surrounded by a canker sore. White, rigid, it refuses to

perform the peristalsis action.

So, now you know why the food just sits there & does not want to go down.

If you don't clear shortly, be sure to remind your doc that you are malabsorbing

and might need a larger dose of the Nexium. We take TRIPLE the Prilosec to get

any result at all. They also give us Carrafate (gen Sucralfate) for use at

night only, which does not enter the blood stream, but pours a cooling blanket

of healing on that wounded tissue.

Yes, left unattended, they can perforate and then what a mess. However, caught

on time, they are manageable. I think I've had 8 or so. But then, I was an

ulcer factory pre-op, too. So, not a big surprise in my case.

I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up, but knew I could never stand

in front of a group. Amazing, huh? But then it was " me " and " them " .

And now we're one group of US, no separation.
