Morning all I hope yous are all good today.Enjoy whatever yous have planned.

@Sandy_123
Sorry to read about your grandson I hope they get to the bottom of it. 

My granddaughter Rosie had the same problem for about 2 years back and forth to A&E nothing wrong they kept saying. My daughter pushed for bloods and a scan it turned out was nothing sinister, she would hold her poo in as was scared to go, the consultant sd it’s quite common. She’s fine now.

I had a Meccles Diverticulum (spelling may be wrong) taken out when I was 3. I had severe stomach pains and had to go into hospital in an ambulance I believe, can’t really remember. All I remember is being asked if I wanted a bubblegum or strawberry drink and I picked strawberry, which knocked me out.. must have been the anaesthetic. Apparently the Meccles diverticulitis thing is extremely rare for a 3 year old!!!!

Just to clarify for the moderators or people who are too trigger happy with the report button — I’m not trying to give medical advice I am just making conversation sharing my experience.

Sandy_123

Haha @66Mustang that last comment made me laugh.  They refused a scan. Glad your granddaughter is OK now @Lou67

Lou67

Thanks Sandy, I’m sorry they refused a scan for your grandson but honestly it took my daughter a lot off back and forth to doctors and hospitals until  eventually they done blood tests then a scan.

Sandy_123

Its been 9 years of back n forth to Dr with no referrals. I'm just waiting to hear how he is today he was off his food yesterday with a huge tummy. And  loads of meds taken for a week like 6 sachets a day. 
Anyway will see how he goes 

66Mustang

Good luck Sandy

Sandy_123

Hes been to the loo yayyyyyy.  What a subject to have. 

66Mustang

Congrats @Sandy_123 lol we are too familiar with this subject already as have a relative in hospital with problems with the lower intestine.

Hannah_Alumni

Yay! is he on the sachets as in picolax, moviprep.... that kind of thing? They are vile so bless him, more power to him for getting them down! 

Sandy_123

Hes been having 6 of the movicol a day. Like an orange flavour. 
How is your reletive doing @66Mustang

66Mustang

They are good thanks @Sandy_123 much better now, should be home next week.  

Sandy_123

I bet they can't wait to get out, have they sorted out the problem

Hannah_Alumni

@Sandy_123 I could never drink them without crying in disgust! He's stronger than I am! 

66Mustang

@Sandy_123 yeah it's sorted for the short term and we have some tablets to keep it under control long term.

They need a few more steroid drips, maybe 7 more which will take a couple of days as it's 4 a day max.

Should be out Tuesday or Wednesday we hope. Maybe Monday if really lucky.

Thanks for asking

Hannah_Alumni

@66Mustang That's great to hear, hopefully they will be back in their own bed soon  

Sandy_123

Gosh @66Mustang it's no fun is it being unwell. 
@Hannah_Scope I feel for you they are not the most pleasant drink.

I am good thank you @durhamjaide2001. Just chilling with coffee while I catch up on
e-mails and listening to Local Radio.

What a subject indeed @Sandy_123,we were obsessed with our son's bowel movements when he was a toddler;he'd sometimes refuse to go for weeks at a time.

I'm glad your grandson's 'been' though.

@Sandy_123 All these advances in medicine and they can't make it taste of nothing
