Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 As you know I had some really unpleasant lower gastro testing done last week while at Cleveland Clinic. I thought the doc. I was seeing was top in the field and would be able to help me. Well after numerous phone calls to get the results from my tests he called personally late this afternoon with NO help at all. He spoke so non-chalantly about the whole thing. He said that my colonic transit study and manometry were abnormal and that my muscles just do not work. He said the key is just to get things as liquified as possible but that there isn't really anything to do about the prob except removing my colon and giving me an ileostomy. I just don't think that will solve the prob. I have dysmotility in my stomach and most likely my small bowel as well. Nothing is moving right now and I am distending and miserable. I need a gastro who is good with motility and can think out of the box and really try and help his/her patients. I know there has to be other options to try whether it be Propulsid, NT3 Injections, IV anti-cholinergic's, etc. Please help! Thank you!
