Deja vu ??? NO True
Posted , 7 users are following.
I am one day returned from a 6 day stay in hospital,for my second major
flare (more of an eruption ) last one a year ago, this time,, a little more
serious, being held in the surgery ward, in case the infection spread.
I had a burst abcess in /on a pouch ,and was monitored and "dripped"
to see what happened. Good news, it stayed localised and here I am back home. and I have to say, feeling really good, apart from the rather
large lump that came with me , One good thing that came out of it,was,
I had the undivided attention of a gastric consultant ,and asked if I
could see a dietician, to find out the eatables .His reply was, that things
had moved on ,and to eat normally, even onions , There was NO actual
proof that food made any significant difference to Divi, and the flares and
pouches just happened. Sooooooo. the gloves are on Oven gloves that is .We are just an unfortunate bunch who react to a tender colon.
Must admit, that when I started DIVI DINERS Ididn't expect there to be
so many of us,but here we are ,sharing, which helps enormously
I am to have the pleasure of another colonoscopy ,just the little one,
won't be so scary this time

some onions ,was going to do a bit of retail therapy today, but the
shed load of antibiotics are still in control, and at lunchtime I started to feel droopy, so I attended to my battle scars of the canula hunting,
and went back to bed . Did go without sleep for 4 nights.due to
ward noises, lights and smells, the gastric ward isn't a bed of roses.
apparently they look for temperature spikes to tell them how things
are moving, and blood counts,mine was quite high then did a dramatic
drop, which saved the theatre trip.Still a bit tender ,but that is par for the course. SO. I'm good to go
You sound good .

nasties .I didn't come home with any drugs,except Paracetamol,which I
have loads of .May need a dose of Lactulose, I ate nothing for 8 days
including the 3 days prior.,and I didn't lose any weight !!!! Ithink the hospital technicians take all the guess work out for the doctors.
thank goodness ,it's the constant wait for the results that pushes the
stress up One flare a year is O.K, the bitty ones I can cope with.

before you are well. Putting up with noise ,smells and lack of sleep are
to be endured ,if the end product is feeling good again. I was warded
with 3 mega snorers, However, I got my own back. I had a prolonged
vomiting session in the early hours which was not a gentle puke, but
a from my boots puke , long and loud Justice !!!!

I can't complain.Flares are unavoidable,seemingly, we get very little notice that one is on it's way. luckily we all get rescued, and live another
day, or two

the building " and Iv'e caught up on the lost sleep. It's good to know that
you have someone who will TELL ALL. I think each person I meet has a different slant on the problem, suppose it depends on what each
doctor prefers.
I had an abcess that burst,so whether or not this fits into the flare
category,I don't know, but the infection stayed local , good news said the surgeon ""the antibiotics are cooking the bugs ""
The large lump I brought home with me is also "leaving the building"
probably thanks to you know what !!!
Hope you have a happy meeting, and do let me know, I love a
happy ending

onions, totally bash, mash and trash them first. then it will get me over my desperate need to taste them again

bacon. stir fry, cheese, mushrooms No probs, feel fine ,just the tail end
of the antibiotics making me a bit dopey. Passing wind,aka, farting, is a natural bodily function, except we don''t look at the dog as though it's their fault.
