Judith Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 When I had lots of trouble with irritable bowel, wind, bloating etc, also after too many antibiotics .. doctor suggested acidophilus and also the food separation diet (often called the hay system after the person who designed it) which helped certainly with the wind and bloating, which in itself helped the bowel to regulate itself. Whilst what you have gone through cannot be compared to what I had, you might just find that a bit of complementary medicine helps ... it certainly got me sorted out ok.Glad that the future prognosis is good ... and though hernia's are unpleasant, they can be sorted and lived with. Hope it all continues well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardengirl Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 I've also been thinking about you recently, Grecian. It's good to hear from you, and as you say, although there are some things which aren't that great, you've come through cancer and are out the other side. I hope that there will continue to be improvements in bowel control and that your hernias can be sorted out before too long. I trust that things are going well for you and Mrs G apart from the obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiseau Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Good to hear from you Grecian, and I am so glad you have made such good progress. Fingers crossed you won't have to wait too long to get the rest sorted.Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnie Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Great news. Hopefully all aspects will progress well gradually. Keep cheerful and positive and that also will help. Best wishes to Mrs G also who has gone through this with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertiebe Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Grecian so good to hear that things are improving at last! Hope the stomach and eating problems will be resolved soon too. Good luck to you and Mrs G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I had a hernia on the site of the stoma after it had been closed.Keep an eye on it, since mine suddenly flared up and strangled leaving me with the emergency operation I had this time last year.Very glad to hear your good news.You really went through it.My last scan was good too, since 4 months after the liver resection for the metastases there is now no sign, though these things can pop up anytime..It took me about 2 years to get bowels settled down, and in my case it is very much as case of diet. I know what loosens and what blocks, but I think this is on an individual basis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Théière Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Echoing the sentiments from everyone else Grecian, I too was thinking we hadn't heard from you just the other day whilst taking in the breathtaking beauty of the French countryside (my own garden is excluded from that point) I have similar if I eat a curry but I know that and it still won't prevent a curry evening! It's ginger and chillies more than anything else but I don't suffer to the extent you describe and it's all settled down much better these days 5years+.Hope you can get the hernias sorted, don't they place a tube thing around the outside these days to help the blighters stay in place?
