This is difficult for me to talk about but, I need some help with this. I had my surgery last September and have healed up nicely. I had a PEG tube placed prior to surgery and have been on it ever since. I lost 2/3 of the base of my tongue, had several set backs, so it's taking a lot longer for me to conquer swallowing. My problem is that over the last couple of months I started having a yellowish discharge anally that burns like acid. I had pneumonia for 5 weeks starting the end of Jan and was on and off antibiotics several times. I thought that had killed off all the good bugs as well as the bad ones in my gut. So I tried Probiotic drinks down my tube. That worked for about 6 days. Then back to the discharge. I have silent reflux and take a liquid scrip for that. So I thought maybe I needed something stronger. The nurse practitioner gave me samples of Prevacid which helped for about 3 days. Today I had one of the worse episodes I've had so far. On a scale of 1-10 the pain was a ten. It burned so badly I could hardly walk. I do have an appt with a Gastro doc but not until 6/3. It's almost impossible to get in to see these guys. Has anyone out there had something like this happen to them? I'm desperate for an answer. Thanks for any help. Katie
