ileostomy question
by KATHY8858, Sep 08, 2009 04:58PM
My niece has been hospitalized 6 times in the last 2 months after her surgery to get a J pouch. She has been dehyrated, had pouchitis, had cdiff 3 times and is currently in the hospital again. She is 95 pounds and has been getting nutrition through a port in her upper arm for the past 2 weeks. She cannot keep food down so they are doing a scope to see why again! Is there any hope for her to recover with numerous setbacks?

Considering she's had pouchitis, I hope at some point in time that her doc or your niece will consider trying some probiotics like VSL#3. They have a very good clinical track record of helping with pouchitis, and they probably wouldn't be a bad idea because of the recent history of C. diff.
