Need help with a diagnosis

GingerSue · Dec 30, 2007

all I could find so far when I checked "degeneration of bowel" was Early Impact of Radiation Exposure"

will keep looking

have you also checked with the Specialty Forums (gastroenterology)?

if this was taken from a handwritten document, i would think that you are reading it "wrong"....in the sense that it is probably unreadable, good luck

My guess would be that the doctor is talking about enteroptosis (intestinal prolapse) or some form of intestinal amyloidosis.

Can someone please enlighten me about "solid bowel degeneration"? I've googled it but haven't come up with anything informative. What is it?

Sounds made-up.

here's another mention of bowel degeneration:

"Jalapeno Almonds (Downtown and Country Club farmer's markets)- You know that nut guy at the farmer's markets, right? Well, he sure knows you, and he knows what you crave. If it's sweet, he's got sweet. If it's salty, he's got salty. And if it's spicy, he's got jalapeno almonds, a protein filled snack that's both addictive and destructive. As it rips the stomach lining out of you in sheets, this tasty treat delivers with roasted almond flavor that can't be beat, and the lingering heat stays on your lips for days, just like you'd made out with a hot skillet. If the jalapeno is too much for you, try the hot barbecue almonds, they're just as good without the bowel degeneration."
