Need info on small bowel infections
Hi OH friends
Its been a while since Ive posted but I do lurk. I was hospitalized this past Saturday until today for a small bowel inflammation/infection. They did general xrays and a CT scan and found that the infection was in the area where my small intestine was split to enter the new pouch. I was hospitalized in September for 2 days as well for the same thing but the inflammation was in a different spot of the small bowel. Has anyone else had or heard of the issues occuring? They don't have any answers to what is causing it so I don't know how to avoid getting it again.
Any info is always appreciated
thanks

No Angela - I have not heard of this exact problem. I know you went to Dr. Christou for your surgery - but I assume you were hospitalized for this closer to home. I would definitely contact Dr. Christou's office to let him know - and if possible - provide him with some sort of documentation from whoever treated you for these two episodes. Hope you are recovering well! Take care!
