I am troubled by the GI diagnosis. Linz is right, you need more tests. If for some crazy reason, this doc will not be willing, and I can't imagine that he wouldnt. To get his attention,I have actually reduced myself to tears, GOOD ONES!! There are so many times that the doc's are not HEARING to what you are saying. Do what you have to do to get diagnosed, sometimes we have to fight for our health, if you dont do it, no one else will.
Have you voiced these concerns to your dietician? Has she given you any advice?
Personally, I cannot tolerate carrots no matter how they are cooked.
Do list your meds,there are so many people here that have suffered exactly as you are, it will help.
I am worried about your mental condition, you are much too young for an ostomy,many people have them, your age and younger. We just hate to see you have to go that far, and if the doc says you do, then you do. Have you thoroughly researched this? Spoke with people who live with them? IF not, I urge you to do so, I recently had abdominal surgery, there were many ostomy patients on my ward. Without going into specifics, I thought I understood ostomy, girl, I definitely did not. I left the hospital praying for those people. To have this surgery, you will have to be diagnosed with a grave illness, this is always the LAST approach. Though today, they have a continuim of surgerys that can reverse the ostomy,(for some people,not all) I promise, unless it is the last resort, you dont want go there. Though many people live busy, fulfilling lives with ostomy, that comes with a positive attitude.
I pray you get some relief soon, your body has been through so much. I am so sad for you right now, you are going to get better, it may take some time.
Dont ever give up, with help from everyone here, you stand a chance of drastically improving. You have to re-set your thinking, instead of letting yourself get down because of the food you cannot eat, lift yourself up that there ARE foods you can tolerate. The sadness and anger you are feeling toward the condition of your body right now, are causing you anxiety, and maybe depression. These things do not give you healing power. I have been there too, try the acacia, at this point you have nothing to loose!
goodluck honey, gayla
