What is it like living with an ostomy?

[Guest guest]

What is it like living with an ostomy? I am not sure but think I am headed that

way. During the past three months my intestines have shifted to the right and

for the past few days, I am having swelling in the ileocecal valve area along

with an enlarged assending and transverse colon and colon spasm.

Have you been diagnosed with one of the inflammatory bowel diseases?

Before you let anyone cut away any of your intestines: have you tried

altering your diet? The Specific Carbohydrate Diet can work wonders. Along

with LDN.
