[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 915533, member: 43498"] I just remembered a procedure my gastroenterologist told me about that I could have for my SCT. I didn't do it, but I think it's a good option if things are bad enough. It's called the ACE procedure, anterograde continent enema, which involves surgery to place a port in the abdomen that connects at the start of the large intestine. Then the person uses a bag of saline (I think) to connect to the port and slowly go into the bowel over 40 minutes or so, and then the contents of the bowel are passed. They do this every few days. I think this would work if the blockage was mainly in the large bowel, but if the stomach contents/material was slow in even getting to the large bowel then I don't think it would help much. Just something to think about, if it's of use to anyone. [/QUOTE]
