My husband has these health issues: depression, lower back pains, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and on top of that high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and heart problems run in the family. He took 4-6 ibuprofen pills each time his back bothered him, or Tylenol (whatever is available) which is about 4-8 times a day; and TylenolPM before bed . Prior to my husband's emergency colostomy Christmas '08 ( he was in for hernia), his eldest sister had colostomy (to arrest colon cancer) a week before his; had another 6" cut-off of his colon and his stoma was closed at the same time, July 2009. Since then, his complaints ranged from gas, bloating, pressure, burning, pain, acid build up, vomiting, and lately bile build up. He medicate himself by taking Tums and Prilosec alternately.
His surgeon as of 08/04 visit suggested yogurt for him. To supplement that, I reasearched for ulcer and juicing for said condition. Got him into cabbage/carrot/celery/apple juicing (the first three tries each had a clove of garlic), the last one he vomited. This morning he had potato/apple juice (without garlic), and still complains of burning, and an hour ago vomited again, this time he said because of bile build up.
HELP! I do not want to see him in this condition. Is it just bile build up or abdominal aortic aneurysm?
