That's great news butiki! Do you keep close track of what you eat? I keep a record of my meals, supplements, and output (quantity and consistency) every day. Also any accidents. It can be difficult to figure out what causes what, and the record helps me a lot. Maybe a record would help you too. I'm scheduled for a colostomy in mid-December, and I'm sure I'll need to continue the record of my diet to manage that well, at least for a few months. The nurse from Craig Hospital is being trained right now on Peristeen, but I think it will be too late for me. It's ok. I have other reasons the colostomy should be better for me anyway.
I think it's a habit everyone should get into (including myself) and should help pinpoint what our body likes and doesn't like. Also, I really still do hope you can try out the Peristeen before the colostomy but if you're ok with the colostomy that's ok too
