Hope all checks out and they get to the bottom of things. Praying for you.

Hi Kevin - I'm having problems right now, too. I'm not vomiting yet, but everything makes me nauseated and anything semi-solid/solid hurts and my abdomin is very pressure sensitive. I'm seeing my doc tomorrow to see if I have a stricture. Strictures are fairly common (a little over 10% of patients), especially within the first few months. If you are an especially fast/good healer the stoma between the pouch and the intestine heals up too tight and the food won't pass through. Did you get your EGD done last week? What did your doc find? Hope you feel better! Jennine

hey jennine yeah i had the EGD and instead of a stricture i had an ulcer they put me on prilosec otc and carafate solution and they said it is in the new connection but they caught it in time and i should start to feel better really soon and i have been !! i hope all is well with you everything is a new experience and if you are having trouble with foods try backing off and go back to liquids and if you feel things getting caugh****er is your best friend anyhoo take care and i will talk to yuo soon and remember you are awesome!! kevin
