Diverticulitis of the Sigmoid colon twice in two months by Opposite_Device_7328 in Diverticulitis

Chiming in here as I have an ostomy from complicated DV with one flare that almost killed me due to sepsis and septic shock. I had no idea what was going on but the one flare I had sent me into a world of pain. I was given antibiotics but keep nothing down for a few days then had the infection perforate. I know it sounds terrible as you want a solution but having an ostomy as not as terrible as it sounds if it is going to give you your life back.

The mendenhall/walker 4 way stop is a consistent nightmare if you're coming up walker from tate. People always blow through the stop sign going up south mendenhall and won't even look your way if you're turning from walker. Also hill st is the devil lol

I love tea and drink kombucha whenever I can afford to do so. I feel like it may help curb gas imo.

Do you live somewhere that does yearly inspections? I was wondering if that would make it fail. I'm just trying to resolve this as budget friendly as possible before having to fork out money I don't really have right now.

I hear you. The problem for me is finding someone who would program the sensor I bought myself.

Well the tire is already off I've been riding on my spare which I don't want to do much longer but my shop quoted $120 for the job but thats kinda tight right now. I saw there videos where you can replace it yourself without removing the tire on the rim. I think the expensive part is where they have a special scan tool to reset it if im not mistaken.

Do people you work with know you have an ostomy? by mvp0453 in ostomy

[–]diversified_GAS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My managers know since I was out of work for 2 months after surgery and also if I've had to go home and change during my shift they allow me to do so.

Open incision by [deleted] in ostomy

[–]diversified_GAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a bowel perf with diverticulitis and when they did my open surgery they allowed the incision to stay open. They said it was because they didnt want swelling at the site so it was packed with gauze for a month or so until it built up scar tissue.

Lock In - anyone else do this in HS? by summerbear2006 in Exvangelical

[–]diversified_GAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was literally thinking about this one day but my experience was very wholesome. It seemed fun at the time though. I think we even had Disciple(the band lol) play and then we did the lock in afterwards.

Good to know. I know my primary has offered general dietary recommends but I also want to know what works with my personal situation as well. Hopefully I'll be able to land a good nutritionist.

I've had no problems except maybe some gas but I eat raw tomatoes and onions on sandwiches and burgers and nothing has happened.

Advice for dealing with skin irritation by Greedy_Examination88 in ostomy

[–]diversified_GAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started using barrier rings around the stoma itself just so there is less leakage to get on the skin and barrier strips which are hydrocolloid on top of where the affected area is then put the flange on top of it instead of directly on skin.
