Guest guest Posted September 2, 2003 Report Share Posted September 2, 2003 Hello, My name is Cindy and last year I had 3 1/2 feet of my large intestine removed. The surgeon connected my small intestine to my sigmoid. This was done due to a chronic history of motility challenges, severe constipation and ulcerative colitis. When I was admitted to the hospita, I had not had a bowel movement for 19 days. The last five of those I was under a physicians care and they tried every enema and oral solution known to man. I still did not pass stool, however started bleeding from the rectum. I am still having challenges with motility and constipation and have recently been diagnosed with an Inflammatory Arthritis known as Colitic Arthritis. This is an autoimmune disease and the specialist wants to put me on prednisone and methotrexate. I am frightened. The joint pain is mostly in ankles, knees arms and wrists. Have had shots of cortisone in both hips and lower spine area in the last three months. I would appreciate any suggestions, books to read, people to talk to etc. I am ready to make a drastic change in life. I am 46 years old 5 ft 6in and weigh 145 lbs. Have never smoked anything, taken illegal drugs and have had probably 15 alcohol drinks in my entire life. Am looking into detox cleanses, dietary changes, juicing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you kindly, Cindy _____________ Get the FREE email that has everyone talking at http://www.mail2world.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 I am also a member of the Leaky Gut group. What you describe sounds very similar to what many of us suffer related to leaky gut syndrome. You may want to browse thru the postings on that sight for dietary suggestions, detox methods, supplementation, etc. It is a true eye opener what many people struggle with for years. An unhealthy gut can cause many ailments. , " Cindy Douglas " <trilher@m...> wrote: > Hello, > > My name is Cindy and last year I had 3 1/2 feet of my large intestine > removed.
