    lomotil
    My mom takes it. It's a godsend. You have to be careful with it because it works too well for some people causing backups. You don't need that. When she has chemo, she has about two days where she swears by it, taking it every 6 hours.

    I hope it's getting easier for you. My surgeon said that the bag spared me of the discomfort when I was going thru chemo. Boy was he right. Don't give up it takes quite awhile to adjust to this. I know how much discomfort you're having. I hope it's getting better for you. God bless.
