Recently a doctor suggested I should start taking a baby aspirin a day because of my high cholesterol. But I have been very wary of NSAIDS because of my ostomy. Just looking at my ostomy wrong makes it bleed. My question is:
Have you taken NSAIDS with your ostomy, and has the medicine caused you bleeding problems?
BTW I have a colostomy because of Crohn's.
Thanks.

kbd,

I have been on a low dose (81 mg) aspirin regime for many years and have never had any bleeding from it. At higher doses, of course you could get intestinal bleeding.

Yeah wow, this site helped so much, I mean really who do you know with this infliction? No one, felt so alone and disgusted by myself every turn.
But it ended up being so damn strengthening, I got fucking moving, really only another choice.

I was damaged by a procedure and ended waking with this, I understand all of you.. perhaps you had to have it, I get it.. doesn't matter either way.

Thanks for the feedback. Think I'll start doing that and keep an eye and make sure no bleeding issues.
Thanks!
