Description: I'm only a 19 year old female who has been dealing with awful stomach issues... I've been to my GI doctor many times... Only for them to waste my money when they said I have IBS. I had my gallbladder removed in emergency surgery due to a stuck gallstone the size of a golf ball on may 1, 2011... Since then I hadn't been able to hardly eat anything. When I eat as soon as the food hits my stomach or a few minutes after I finish eating I'm rushing to the bathroom with severe diarrhea and it feels like stomach acid... Not to be too gross but it was nothing solid at all more like a yellow liquid and burns horridly... They have put me on some sort of cholesterol medicine and powders that were to act to bind the bile being secreted through my liver. Some of the medicines helped but only for a few weeks... Now they have me on a stomach muscle relaxer for IBS it helped about 3-4 days since I went to the GI last. Now I dread taking it.. It's only making it worse. Before I have an "attack" as I call it my lower stomach burns so bad and within 2-3 minutes I'm running to the bathroom... I've dealt with this almost 9 months... Now I have developed anal bleeding the Er had told me it was due to a small hemorrhoid. But when it starts bleeding I know I can feel it bloating my stomach up cramping it to where I'm forced to go to the bathroom where there's not just a little blood on the toilet paper or in the toilet. There is a lot if it. Almost as If I were on my period... And this bleeding goes for the better part of 2-3 days before I stops and comes back a week or two later.... I can't afford to even go to a walk in clinic I'm between jobs and I'm worried something is really wrong and not just IBS... I've had a colonoscopy where they said I had a precancerous polyp which they removed and was benign ten as symptoms got worse and I thought it was an ulcer they did an endoscopy when nothing was found... I'm over it! I just wanna find out what's wrong with me :( please help I've been tested for celiac sensitivity it came back negative and as well as hypothyroidism which was also came back negative. I'm at a loss

Description: My mother in law had a bowel resection about 5 years ago and since then has had a horrible time with weight problems, health problems and stomach issues. There are many leafy vegetables she cannot eat and in addition she cannot have any fruits are vegetables that have any peels or seeds. If she wants those she has to peel and de-seed them herself. I have found a product that has lots of these vegetables in it but it is in powdered form and made into a mix drink. She does not currently have a doctor to ask about this because she does not have insurance. I was wondering if anyone out there could tell me if a person with a bowel resection is able to use these foods in their pulverized and powdered form? Is it the foods them selves that cause the problem or just that the seeds and skins are not easily digested by the intestines? Does consuming them in powdered form eliminate the problem of them not being easily digested? I have found a product called "It Works Greens" that she was thinking about trying out. The ingredient's list is on this page: https://workstation.myitworks.com/FileUploads/DocumentLibrary/Documents/gbl001productinformationgreensl.pdf . I hope someone can help me. Thank you!

Description: I have 4 children 9,7,6, and 3. My husband and i have just potty trained our 3 year old and she does great during the day. however at night she just does not want to get up to use the bathroom. we have tried night lights and rewards in the morning but we are out of ideas. As of right now she is not allowed anything to drink after 7 pm and she has to use the bathroom before she gets in to bed. none of the other kids did this... Please any advice would be great! Pull ups are out of the question. I don't put them on my children because I think they are a wast of money and they don't teach children anything. I have a plastic liner on her bed, but the problem is if she pees the be I have to wash not only her Sheets and pajamas but also give her a bath what seem like every morning.

Description: Im 15, a freshman in high school. Ive kinda started obsessing over college and what I want to do lately. My GPA is about 3.7 and 94 average. Im planning on taking anatomy. Lately ive been looking up a LOT of videos about nursing/nursing school and stuff. I REALLY enjoy the videos and think it would be a really neat job. It seems perfect for me! I want a job that really helps people, wont get boring, and is face to face with patients. Nothing really grosses me out (blood, ostomy bags, bed pans, etc.) On my PLAN test I got Health Care. But my question is, could I really be a nurse or is this just a phase like when I wanted to be a vet when I was younger?

Description: i have quite a few boxes of ostomy bags that i would like to donate to any ileostomy/colostomy patients that requre the use of a bag. i am an ileostomy patient, and currently using ostomey bags, but do have some extra that I would like to give to those that do NOT have health insurance to assist them on obtaining these needed items. i live in Illinois.

Description: i have a ileostomy due to a appendicitis and now im haveing a take down/ reversal soon, and i have had it for 6 months plus, but the operation was scheduled for 3 months ago but due to finical problems i had to work on medical anyways from an appendicitis iv had two surgery's the first one was a blow due to the fact that when i was eating at home blood gushed out of my surgery line (where i had the cut in my stomach) a week after the surgery that is, and the second one i had gotten a ileostomy due to the first complications, but the doctor has basically taken fault but i dont think he did it intentionally because the first surgery was an emergency one at 2 am when i could not handle the pain anymore (he thinks i dont like him because of my attitude but my attitude came from me being in that situation at the hospital, knowing you almost died is not easy to deal with alone, knowing i was pretty much dead for 3 days was hard to accept) anyways to my point i dont want to down the doctor because i would hate to put fault on a doctor that was probably only good intentioned anyways, a little insight would be nice on my take down/ reversal, and what do you guys think about me going to another surgeon for the surgery if my health insurance is starting to be a big enough problem that i might have to go to another hospital? And what information can you give me on my aftermath? after the surgery??? and is it true that hospitals pressure the surgeons not to care because it felt as if he was being pressured to release me from the hospital? Another thing are the doctors limited on tests they can give me if im not insured? my questions, are plenty, because on the internet everything contains to cancer being the reason for the ileostomy and mine is to a appendicitis, and puss gushing out of my stomach, anyways im in my early 20's and am pretty much ignorant to medical terms, im not a fan, but i been telling myself i will study this stuff once im okay because i hate feeling as weak as i feel about this situation, anyways thanks for taking the time out i know you guys are busy.

Description: I am in my mid forties. Its time for some vocational training. A little about me: I am self supporting. I have been helping care for my mom who has cancer. She is stable now.. I am in a position to do something now for me. I have had a hard life and up bringing. I have in the past helped my dad who had cancer but was unable to change his ostomy bag. I am very down to earth.. love nature and animals .. especially dogs. But... could never be the one to euthanize one. I would have became a Vet Tech. but can't for that particular reason. I am very .. creative..and was considering going to Aveda for the full program to do hair.. nails.. etc. However.. I here customers are fickle and can choose to go else where.. or if they can't get fitted in.. they may choose to go else where and not return.. if you mess up a cut or color, are on vacation.. or don't meet their schedules.. the same. So.. its not consistent enough. However.. cleaning up vomit, poo, pea, colostomy bags, catheterizing women and men, giving bed baths, cleaning bed pains..changing sheets.. taking blood and dealing with needles and air born diseases that can kill.. all don't seem appealing to me. What should I do.. why/why not?

Description: My friend wants me to help her mother in their home. Although I was a Certified Nurses Aid for 10 years, I am not licensed as an Lpn or Nurse to do wound care. Under the Nursing Practice System Act, can a private duty person do WOUND care for ostomy in PA? I hate to have to give this women a bath and not be able to change her dressing. Her main caregiver is not doing the job. I am a Home Health Aide and this is not part of our job description...but giving a bath is....how can I possibly give a bath and leave a stomahesive with fecal matter and bag on? Please advise

Description: If you do not know yet what an HDHP tied with an HSA is, it is a health plan many employers are going to, despite how many lives they may ruin. With an HDHP, one person's deductible may range from $1,200.00 to $5,000 AND still have to pay the insurance premiums. Those of us who will need continual health care and are already living paycheck to paycheck are going to eventually forced into bankruptcy as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Being that I have had chronic illnesses from childhood to the present, I don't understand why Americans look at health care as a privilege only for those who can afford it. My husband's company is going to an HDHP tied with an HSA in 2012. This is going to eventually bankrupt us. We are barely making it paycheck to paycheck. I don't understand why this kind of thing is happening when it is destined to hurt the chronically ill and and poor. Please read ahead and let me illustrate what this means for many of us with chronic illness. First of all, we DID NOT ask for a chronic illness unless we voluntarily took drugs, smoked or drank too much, which most of us, including me have not. I had surgery in 1990 that left me with a lifelong need and expense of ostomy supplies. These are VERY expensive and anyone with a urostomy (or colostomy or ileostomy) simply cannot function without the supplies that contain their waste from incontinent stomas. I did not ask to have the disease that destroyed my urinary bladder. It is hard enough to deal with it day to day about leaks without worrying about whether or not I will even be able to get them at all when my husband's company next year goes to a HDHP and HSA. I was also severely abused from babyhood through my teen years. I have been "doing the right thing" and getting help for over 25 years or more. I am clinically depressed with a great deal of other anxieties and emotional/mental illnesses, which is not of my choosing. I am on a significant amount of medication, and most the time these only minimally control my symptoms. I do everything I possibly can to see life in a more positive light, though at times it is nearly impossible. Those of us who try to function and participate in being a responsible American citizens by working and paying taxes will no longer be capable of doing so if we can no longer receive the required medical supplies, prescriptions and psychiatric care. Psychiatrists charge $100.00 or more per 15 minutes - only to write your prescriptions. More and more of us will lose what function we have struggled to gain over the years and more will end up either on some kind of government assistance (if any is left) or homeless. Also, those who are mentally ill to a criminal standpoint will act upon their impulses if they can no longer get psychiatric help. This will increase the crime rate drastically and more violent criminals will be on the streets since the prisons are already overcrowded. Plus, going back to the ostomy victims, I beg that you take a moment to understand what it would be like to be someone with an ostomy and have no means of getting the necessary appliances for the urine and feces to be properly collected so we too may continue to function. If we can't, we will all be sitting on the side of the tub the rest of our lives (if we are not homeless) constantly cleaning up our urine or feces that emit onto our bodies from incontinent stomas. I am begging you to encourage the eradication of the mandated HDHPs tied to HSAs. It seems to me many Americans "blame the victims" of chronic illness and want to punish us so they can watch their money grow while ours diminishes until we are completely depleted of our funds. Many of us work very hard long hours, but if we can't make the set number of dollars it takes to pay for this kind of plan, we will see more foreclosures, more crime, and disease. Even though I have lived in this country my whole life, I never understood why health care is most often seen only a privilege and not a right. As the super power of the world, I feel it is an utter shame that America sees its chronically ill citizens as lazy or undeserving. While, no offense meant to cancer survivors, they are considered heroes to be worshipped while we with chronic illnesses are left in the dust and are completely ignored. As many other Americans are, we are living paycheck to paycheck, and are only hanging by a string in being able to pay the bills we already do have. And I do not mean bills like cable or satellite radio. We have never been able to afford foolish luxuries like that and yes we both have been to college. I have in all honesty seriously considered that when this HDHP goes into effect next year, I will commit suicide so as not to bring my husband down with me. I'm sure I won't be the only one and those who support the HDHPs will have the blood of the suicide victims o You all suck and have absolutely no human bones in your bodies. Really, would you tell a soldier with PTSD to "get a grip"? Apparently all of you are insulated with status, luck and money. I have done ALL the right things. I got help, I had the surgery I had to, I have worked until I have ended up in the emergency numerous times, and remember I said I hated being on SSD but could not have survived without it? Now I know why Americans are considered hateful and rude. Did I forget to mention I went to college and was a straight A student until I became so ill I was forced to quit?

Description: I had had a very stressful few months. My young daughter who already has extensive medical needs (amputations, skin graphs, feeding tube, ostomy ETC.) had to have major surgery in early December. After 14 days in the hospital we got to go home Christmas morning. 2 days after Christmas my husband collapsed in our home and had a massive heart attack. 5 days in the hospital. At his two week followup the doc was still very concerned and several tests later we were told he needed quadruple bi- pass surgery asap. He is only 38. surgery scheduled for Feb. 9. Wed. they told us he needed to come in Thurs. for a cat scan of his chest ( we are assuming for is heart). We get a call at 9 pm last night saying that he will need to come in again for another cat scan of his head and neck. They are now looking for cancer because his lymph Nodes are swollen and his white blood count is really high. We have no health insurance as well. I feel like I am a pretty strong woman, and can handle difficult situations. But today as we wait for the phone call to come in I feel like I can't function any more. I just want to sleep and sleep today, that is totally unlike me . In addition to our daughter we have a severely autistic son. I am so worried because if my husband I sick it is all on me. maybe I just have a flu bug but what do I do if I am just reaching my Limit? (no family on either side to help)

Description: I'm 21 year old and for a little over a year now I have been experiencing bleeding after a BM. It is bright red blood on the toilet paper.sometimes in the stool water, and in with the stools. When it first started it only happened every 3 or more months but the last 6 months it has been happening once a month! It happens about the same time each month but sometimes its random. Most times it is only once and after I clean up from that there is no blood even with bowel movements until the next month or however long it is. sometimes it will last a day but never long than 3 days at the most! I have been to the doctor and he said I have a small tear--i have used vaseline, sitz baths and aloe vera and vitamin e wet wipes. I also have IBS so a lot of chronic diarrhea . All my blood work comes back perfect, had a colonoscopy done about 5 years ago don't really want to repeat it if not neccessary! Any ideas?

Description: I need some help fully understanding this disease. I am 16 Years old and was recently diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. This is my story so far: When I was early 14, I began to get some serious pains in my stomach. The pain was coming on and off frequently, and I began to notice blood passing in my stools. I was pretty freaked out at first but tried to ignore it, and surprisingly it stopped after 2 weeks or so. I was relieved, but a few weeks later it began to happen again. I went to my doctor, who told me that it was more than likely just a simple irritated bowel caused by stress. I went home feeling iffy about the whole situation. 2 Months later and it was still happening, but this time it was frequent, and I noticed I started to loose weight also. I went back to my local GP, who put me through to a different hospital. There I was told I might have hemorrhoids, which I was tested for but nothing. I was surprised again when I was told it was nothing (regardless of me telling them it was frequent and I didn't feel stressed), and was sent home again with the same false information. I came a third time, and only then did they think I had something seriously wrong with me. I had a CT Scan, and a week or so later was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. I felt relieved when told, but when I got home and did some research I had a million questiosn to ask. I've talked to the doctor since but still have more questions in which I want answers from people who suffer from the disease to answer, not to say that the doctor's have given me bad information, just want to know from people with actual experience: In a nutshell, these are the questions: - I am aware that diet isn't the cause of the disease, but it plays an important role in preventing flare-ups of the bowel. What foods should I eat/not eat in helping this? - I've read online about all sorts of different medications, I have been put on Salazopyrin (Sulfasalazine) 500MG EN-Tabs, taking 4 twice daily. I have had no problems (infact I'm pretty much back to normal) since I started taking the tablets, so I don't understand why people need to be looked after etc. in a situation like this. I'm aware my situation isn't that bad, and people have much worse cases, but you get the idea. - Why do people need those colon bag carrier things? (Not sure of the name). I know what it's used for, but don't see why people suffering UC need them, again it's probably just for people with worse cases but not 100% sure. - Do certain vitamins help this disease? - Can green tea help this disease? - Being aware of the consequences of surgery, how come people who don't actually need the surgery choose to get it? All of these questions are based on things I've read online about people with similar cases, I'm aware that different people means different problems, but just curious. Thanks for reading or answering. Just read juicing green vegetables (cabbage, brocoli etc.) is extremelly good for this??

Description: Ok to make a long story short, I am a 22 yr old who has Crohn's Disease, which affects your GI tract (when it is active, symptoms are typically diarhhea, cramps, pain etc). I was diagnosed in 2004. When I was diagnosed, I went thru a series of (some painful) testing, x-rays, cat scans, colonoscopys, endo, etc... It was hard but it made me stronger & realize more what matters most in life. As of right now, there is no cure for it other than medications & a good diet. (If the inflammation gets bad enough, one can potentially need surgery later on). I was in remission for a couple years, but have had some issues recently--but I made adjustments to my meds by doctor's orders & am seeing improvements. Overall, I live "normally" and you'd never know I had it unless I told you or unless you witness me taking my 7 pills a day.. I love life, thankful for my friends, family & all the great people in my life... well that leads me up to this.. I have started to fall in love with a guy I've started seeing recently. We're in the early stages of dating you could say. We aren't in a relationship quite yet, but it looks like it's heading that way (neither of us are seeing other people/dating around). We're in the "getting to know you" stage lol. We came to know each other thru a dating site, both looking for something significant, long-term..something meaningful. Well i am starting to really fall for him & it scares me. It really does because Ive always tried to hide my emotions & block people from getting inside my bubble. He's 24, a pre-med student, graudating next year to be a doctor. He's sweet & caring, the type you aren't afraid to meet the parents. He has said one of his fears is "losing people he cares about for health problems or any other reasons, if he can't fix it.." That kind of scares me. Im not on my death bed, obviously, but my disease is unpredictable, I could potentially need someone who'd stay by my side & care for me..love me who I am.. When should I tell him about my disease? I struggle with this deep inside. I dont want to get attached only to get hurt (i have been several times for other reasons). Should I wait after a few weeks / months? I am crazy about this man & I've never felt like this before..I have only dated around a little, casually (and shortly) so I never got to this Crohn's issue except once but that person already knew i had a disease.. I just want to be loved for who I am, someone who will take me for all I am.. Im just scared to death I'll get close to him only for him to say he can't handle it. He seems to be crazy about me, calls me pretty much every night, talking & laughing for hours.. Any thoughts on this, insight/advice is appreciated. In some ways it's a big deal but in other ways it isn't. Anyone with an autoimmune disease will understand where I'm coming from, too.. Thanks for tips...

Description: Hello everyone, my Dad got prostate cancer 5 year ago. He had prostate cut 4 year ago and the bladder removed recently. Now he is taking medicines regularly and the health seems more stable. But from the bladder surgery done until now the leaking problem makes him very uncomfortable. As the bladder was removed, the urinary comes straight from the hole on the belly to a plastic bag through a plastic duct (pipe). The pipe is attached to the hole on belly by a sticky band (Braun brand) The problem is the band is not good enough to stick properly on the body all the time and it allows urinary to leak out. Dont need to tell but you can imagine how unconfortable when the clothes/body easily get wet if you dont stay in a "correct" position. Anyone, please, if happens to know any way/product or any doctor who can fix the problem, please kindly let me know.The terrible summer is getting close and the leaking problem is even worse now. I wish to hear from you, please help. Thank you very much.

Description: My mother was fired today. her boss told her it was becasue she was the sole caregiver of my grandmother who just had surgery. She had a colostomy and is now with a permanent ostomy bag. My mother is not the sole care provider. There will be home health care as well as my husband and I helping also. My mother only requested the day of the surgery off of her job (she is a housekeeper in a hotel) and her boss gave her the entire week off. When she called to get her schedule for the upcomng week, they told her she was terminated for the reason listed above. What actions should she take? She would have been at the company for one year on November 11. She worked over 1600 hours for the year. Any advice would be SO appriciated.

Description: My daughter suffered from Crohn's Disease for years before her colostomy procedure. Naturally, my wife and I are trying our best to make this easy for her. We have been searching everywhere for a product that will protect her ostomy while in the shower or bath. Also, she used to swim competitively before her surgery and all the products I have been able to find are not recommended for use for swimming or activity in the water. Is there anything out there that will help her get back in the water doing what she loves, or will she have to stop swimming completely?

Description: My husband and I have been married for a little more than a year. In that first year I had some serious health problems requiring 4 surgeries. The last one resulted in an ostomy. Sex has been difficult the whole time because of this but I have always been willing to do the other things to meet my husbands needs in the bedroom. He doesn't do much on the giving end of sex either. If it takes longer than a couple of pinches and grabs to get me in the mood he gets upset and tells me there is something wrong with me. He is the only man I have been with and I waited for marriage. He works full-time as do I and I am enrolled full-time as a student. Lately I have had to let some things around the house go, meaning it isn't a top priority and it gets done when it gets done. My husband has become increasingly distant. He told me that I need to focus on keeping the house clean, his laundry done, and have food ready for him when he gets home. He is angry b/c I won't quit my job. I would like too but financially I can't because his salary alone wouldn't cover all the bills. He has told me that no matter what I do or how hard or often I try that sex with me is completely unfullfilling. This along with him showering twice a week makes it hard for me to want put forth any effort in the bedroom. He typically has 3 days off one week and 4 days off the next week. He does nothing around the house to be helpful and gets angry when he doesn't have clean laundry saying I am not being a good wife. It wasn't always like this...it seems to have just started when I started classes in August. I have suggested marriage counseling to help us get through all this but he refuses to go and says I'm the only one who needs counseling. Any advice on how to make this marriage better for both of us?

Patient is anxious.. but an evidence of anxiety is increased blood pressure. How can this make sense? Low fluid volume = low BP, anxiety = High BP. How can i make sense of this? Thank you very much in advanced. I am currently working on an assignment for my nursing degree.

Description: I have had multiple abdominal surgeries. Recently I started walking on a treadmill, and eating healthier and have lost almost 30 pounds. Due to my prior health and the surgeries, my abdomen is my biggest weight area. I need some exercises I can do to try and tone this area up but I have an ostomy and have to be very careful of hernias. Does anyone know of any exercises that I can do to help?

Description: My daughter has a colostomy and few other health problems along with it. She's had her colostomy since she was 2 days old, she's now almost 10 months. I live in a small town so there's not alot of support groups offered here for anything. If anyone knows of a website for this purpose I'd love to have it. I goggled for it but found nothing. There are websites for ppl with colostomies but not for mothers of colostomy babies. Please help if you can.

Description: Just looking for a list of programs or jobs in healthcare that require a MS or PHD, that are a little more gratifying then nursing, but that i can still use my nursing degree towards? Perhaps someone knows a good site to look up a bunch of health care jobs and programs? Thanks!

Description: My mother is 90 with an ileostomy for about 5 years. She needs 3 IV a week to prevent dehydration. Is this average for her condition? I was wondering if there can be something changed in her diet to absorb more liquids. She is always lightheaded and I wonder if she is absorbing everything she needs to.
