That plus nothing like corn or anything rough on the colon. My sons was so bad they could do nothing for him except surgery. He fought it for years.
I feel for your Son. I was just diagnosed 4 years ago, and it is hell to say the least. Good luck to him, and I hope he is doing well.
Not trying to worry you, but he really needs to see his Doctor. Gatorade is not all that, and can be bad if you have too much. Get some bananas that might help replace some of the potassium he's loosing. If his Doc told him to drink the Gatorade, then do what the Doc said. I hope he gets well soon.
Take care of yourselves, and the best of luck.
He had two surgeries about 5 years ago. One to remove the entire large intestine and reconstruction. On a colostomy bag for 6 months while he healed up. Second surgery to remove the bag and reconnect. He's doing very well. UC is gone, but there are drawbacks to just having a small intestine.
The draw back to having just the small intestines , are probably not near as bad as what he was going through when he had the large. I am heading toward surgery myself in the near future. Keep us posted KDENISE, and well wishes to you, and your Husband.
Great idea Misfit! I forgot about the BRAT, or in your case, the RAT Diet. Take some Tums before, or after eating a Banana. Good luck to you too.
He's not any better, he called the Dr, this a.m. an hasn't gotten a return call. He may need a new Dr
I go to Dr. Mills in Waldorf. She's great. GI Associates of Maryland 12070 Old Line Center Suite 200, Waldorf 20602 (301) 850-6922. I'd be embarrassed if this is your Husband's Doctor. I got seen right away, when other GI Docs had a 3 month waiting list. I went in on a Monday, and had the colonoscopy that Wednesday. A very nice, and caring Staff too. Good luck to your Husband. Take care of yourself too.He's not any better, he called the Dr, this a.m. an hasn't gotten a return call. He may need a new Dr
