Hello
Just wondering if anyone on here takes nutritional supplements and, if so, which ones.
I've had my ileostomy for two years now and it's been absolutely fine up until now and I've felt really well. Recently though I've just felt so tired during the day - not so much when I'm on the go but when I sit down I feel my eyes closing, which is unheard of for me. My diet is the same as before my ileostomy (reasonably healthy) but I wonder if there are some nutrients which aren't being absorbed.
Saw my CRN earlier this week for CT & CEA results and mentioned it but she didn't seem that concerned.
I'm hoping that someone can suggest something to perk me up a bit.
Cheers!
Hi BlueBlue
I was short of serotonin. Just couldn’t adjust my diet so I took a tablet daily
It may be worth chatting to your GP. The lack of serotonin also made me feel sad. So it may not be apt for you
Hope that you feel more energetic soon
Take care

Thanks Ann. It's strange. As long as I'm busy I'm absolutely fine - and then I sit down and feel my eyes closing. Probably just old age catching up with me!
I see you've had a great holiday. Maybe that's what I need.
Definitely a change of scenery charges the batteries. If you can escape for a couple of days go for it
