Just got back from Dr. Chea's

Well the mystery is solved. I have an ulcer in my poor little pouchie! To top it off the ulcer does not want to heal as my pouchie has also started to over produce stomach acid ouch! So he put me on pepic for the next 6 weeks and mylanta for the embarasing burping that I have been dealing with due to the acid. If this is the only set back I have from this surgery than I am still ahead of the game and happy. Leslie

Leslie, I am sooooooooooo sorry to hear about the nasty little ulcer that is hurting you. Maybe after the 6 weeks of pepcid, you will be a-ok with CHEESE again At least you know what the problem is now. Hugs, Susan

I am so sorry, I hope that you start to feel better soon. May the fairy of feeling betterness look down upon you and make everything in your new tummy all better!! Kris

Leslie, did your Dr. change your diet in any way. Is there anything that could have avoided this? Glad you are able to be seen outpt. Take care of your Boo-boo!

The Dr. said that it could have been caused by stress. Which I have had an unusally large amount of lately. Grandmother had massive stroke and died 2 weeks after surgery. Father had heart attack earlier in the year and wound up with him in the emgerency room 2 days before I was to come home from the funeral. My surgery and recovery. Family fighting like cats and dogs a lot lately. You know the usual stuff. Leslie

Ouchie! Sorry to hear about the ulcer, but thank goodness that's all it was. Take care, Michelle

Leslie I am so very sorry to hear you have an ulcer, but glad you found out quickly about it and are taking care of it. What were you feeling to let you know something was wrong? God bless, Dodie

Dodie, I started to feel burning in my pouch and it was made worse when I would eat cheese, and milk products other than yogurt. I was nausous all the time and did not want to eat. I was burping constantly. It also felt a little better if I ate bread products. Dr. Chea said it was because they would coat the ulcer for a short while and it would feel better. Even water burned. It pretty much sucked!! Leslie

Leslie, Sorry to hear about the ulcer. I hope you feel better soon.
