Will anti depressants help?
The older I get the worse living with an
ileostomy
gets. Anyone else feel this way? Would major anti depressants help?

Stomach problems with eating veg.
I have an
ileostomy
now. I want to lose weight, but find that a lot of healthy foods cause a blockage in my small intestine. For example, I can't eat sweet corn, salad vegetables, a lot of other vegetables, mushrooms, bean sprouts and minced beef just to name a few.

Depression
I was diagnosed stage 3 last April had 7 chemos, hysterectomy debunking &
ileostomy
and in Nov all clear, but since then had a few minor health issues not cancer related and I have been so depressed.

Ileostomy Reversal
In a few weeks time I will hopefully be having surgery to reconnect my bowel & I was wondering if anyone had any top tips to help me prepare for the surgery & the aftermath which I gather can be fairly challenging for a while?

Healthy eating
I have an
ileostomy
pouch and need to eat .lots of carbs. I then gain weight. If I do not eat carbs I have problems managing
ileostomy
leading to fluid .loss from the pouch. I cannot eat vegetables and and only a small amount .of fruit. No big deal having
ileostomy
but gaining weight is Milfred

Overdue update and mini meltdown in the car.
The
ileostomy
reversal was by far the easiest surgery recovery I've ever had. Hardly any pain and once the plumbing kicked in again it's been working like a regular champ ever since.

Pain and cramps
I am approx 9 weeks post
ileostomy
. I would suppose these pains and cramps would have eased off a bit. I am still struggling. It's so unbearable. I try as much as to eat and keep hydrated but with occasionally nausea eating is quiet a challenge. My nights are somewhat crazy with these symptoms.

Back where I started!
Left hospital with a
ileostomy
. At the time it was the best thing that happened as at last I had some control over my bowels. A year later and I started to pass a lot of blood with pain in what was left of my anus and rectum.

Advice
I had major surgery,
ileostomy
bag and 6 rounds of chemo and then a reversal last Aug. The docs were hoping for a cure but I have just recently been told that the cancer has returned and I have decided to take part in the LOGs trial. The doctor told me yesterday to start making plans.

Running while a dialysis patient with ileostomy
Looking for others to advise me on whether I can and how to begin running or other physical fitness programs. Specifically from someone in a similar situation as mine or knows someone like me. I'm 46 years old tomorrow the 25th and need a serious change in my life. I don't want my disabilities to completely

Stoma and wound.
I had an
ileostomy
about five months ago and was left with a large serious wound near the stoma adding to problems when infection developed. Now I have a viscious pain just above the wound.

Different B12 injections?
Hello, My mum has B12 injections every 3 months following an
ileostomy
. She used to be full of energy after each one but since changing GP practice 6 or 7 years ago she no longer feels the benefit. Are there different formulas that could cause this?
