Has Anyone Had A Rectal Abcess?

A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭
Toronto, ON

I have IBS and diverticulitis. I also gave internal bleeding hemrroids for which I has sclerotherapy to shrink them. I had 2 successful procedures but my last one failed and caused a perforation with a septic abcess and fistula. I have been hospitalized 3 times now. Has anyone experienced anything similar. Apparently the failed procedure is considered rare.

Thank you

I Have IBS-D Does Anyone Take Immodium Sometimes To Help During A Special Occasion ?

A myIBSteam Member asked a question 💭
Brampton, ON

My ibs has been out of control lately but I definitely know food is a trigger especially sugar. This time of year is especially hard as everything is about food and I find myself not eating just to avoid having a issue but we know not eating can also cause gas build up and that can also get ibs going. I can’t win. I have two days where I have to drive further away than usual to visit family for Christmas and I am considering taking immodium
(Anti diarrhea medication) just to get me through… read more

A myIBSteam Member

I take Imodium all the time because I'm afraid of the explosion of diarrhea. Right now I think it's backfired and I have terrible constipation.
