I was having a problem with diarrhea and going all the time. I had a lit of gas and it affected my job. It affected my job so much my company let me go. I am devastated and scared and some what relieved as the pressure was taking its toll. I went to the gastro doctor and he prescribed 3 Creon before each meal. This has helped. He also prescribed Imodium, not the over the counter type. I have not taken the Imodium. I basically was starving, before surgery I weight 172 and now I am 140. I hope to start gaining some weight soon. At this time I do not need chemo my numbers look good. May God Bless all of you. Brian50 Brian50 Mon, 17 Apr 2006 00:00:00 GMT
