Dear Ruth...while it sounds as though you have a Dr. with some smarts...a total large bowel removal sounds very drastic. Is there something that the very wise and knowledgable people here can help you with? Anyone? V

Fortunately my Doctor does not buy into the cholesterol humbug, so I have not been put on drugs. Of course, part of the reason for this, I'm sure, is that my digestive tract problems would make figuring out a drug to use would be difficult if not impossible. He has had enough trouble with trying to get me to take tranquilizing drugs, ( not sure if this is the right category), and various other things that are supposed to help my bowel problems. He has given up on the medicines. Thankfully, but now recommends total large bowel removal.. I am resisting this, so far.
