Postop

Glad they fixed the issue. I had hernias, too. And bowel obstructions unfortunately, can happen.

I kind of agree. My nut. helped in the beginning, but then it was vets who pointed the way.

Good idea.

Almost 19 years out: have your liver numbers always been up and down? Mine have. I had a liver ultrasound a few years ago to double-check. It was negative.

Best of luck, Monday.

I only know of Mexicali in Mexicali.

Sent you a PM.

I don’t eat many, but the roughage can make me visit the bathroom more.

Those are the 2 I thought of.

I'm almost 18 years out. I've used Reclast since 2013. But it hasn't helped my Dexa much. We're trying Forteo (the co. offers a very inexpensive price if you speak with them). You might want to reach out. I had tooth issues early on. Then last year, I needed 2 root canals. But I doubt those are DS related. As for the Secondary Hyperparathyroidism, I believe an endocrinologist and nephrologist would be helpful.

I haven’t really had any shakes for many years; the exception being this summer when I had to have a few. Then I went back to what I used my first 2 years which was chocolate Muscle Milk. I liked it bc it was premade and came in small bottles. I don’t think it had sugar alcohols but I’m not 100% sure.

Double check what is in the shakes. See if there are sugar alcohols.

What are you eating? Simple carbs? They tend to make stool and gas smell much worse. I use this for the bathroom. It's great. I carry a spray vial of perfume in my back pants pocket to spray my butt, so if I have gas the smell doesn't linger in my pants. But I almost never have it in public bc I don't eat simple carbs during the day as I don't eat them till I get home. If your family doesn't like the smell, I hope they knew what they were signing up for. TDS 2005

One of the beauties of the TDS is you can eat anything. Just not as much. And if you eat things like too much sugar or simple carbs, you’ll most likely have foul smelling gas and/or stool. Of course, you can have caffeine. You’re also able to take NSAIDs & all other medications - which was important to me, in case I ever needed them. TDS 2005.
