vomiting doesn't always mean a stricture

hi all, i've missed the board for a few days because I got sick this past saturday and had to go to the er and was admitted to the hospital. Saturday morning I started feeling sick to my stomach and started throwing up and once I started I couldn't stop!! I had never gotten sick so I didn't know what was causing it except a stricture I called my surgeon and he told me to go to the er. I couldn't keep anything down not even my own saliva it was that bad!!!!! After going to the er they gave me fluids and something for nausea that didn't really help much. I was admitted and was very dyhydrated and they kept me with iv fluids and nausea meds. Monday I had to have another barrium swallow and today I had an endoscopy to see if I had a stricture. Well surprize surprize no it wasn't a stricture it was an ulcer of all things!!!! My new pouch has an ugly ulcer I'm not sure what caused it but I know what didn't help it and thats chili!! Friday I had a small wendy's chili it went down fine and I handled it well thats until the next morning. So I was in the hospital for 3 days because I have an ulcer. Lesson to everybody here BECAREFUL with your pouch don't eat anything spicy, or fatty I couldn't believe the pics of my pouch I saw today it was burnt up!!!! Now i'm on prilosec and carafate to help alieviate my tummy. Hopefully the meds will work but just wanted to let you all know what happened to me and to just be careful with your new pouches its all a learning experience. Kriss

Wow are you better now? how many weeks are you post surgery?I have been pretty good about eating though I have had tofu chili tant was semi spicy and it was okay.I only could eat 2 teaspoon fulls since I am perinoid over eating too much.
