Excellent information! Thanks Sir ! . How old are you ? Loprimide - Gosh Familiar with that . When I am station in the Philippines (RP) , I am usually there for a 4-5 month rotation . I take one in morning and one in evening for first week . then 1 a day second week . The maybe one a week after that . Works like a charm . In the RP im exposed to different bacteria . I love it there and its safe, great culture , and so on . I fly ( pilot) so its a little inconvenient the first week . I want to fly another 3-4 years during winter / Winter contract only in South Europe or Philippines . My blood in the stool this week has been minimal . Ive had a colonoscopy and Dr says everything looks fine - just "radiation irritation that should resolve itself " . This GI Dr was on Mainland , he was very good. The GI Dr on Vancouver Island was awful ( his office never returns calls etc ) so im looking for a Alternate GI Dr here on the island so I can consult with him/her . The blood in stool should have resolved itself by now my original dr said . I can go back to original GI Dr if I want ( on Mainland) and government will pay for flight ( Comox to Vancouver ) or ferry ticket ....but I was hoping to find a Dr here on Vancouver Island . Victoria has 10 or so , but thats a 2 hour drive south on the Island . Thanks for your help Sir ! God Bless to you and yours !

I am 73. Are you on any blood thinners or an 81 mg aspirin daily? If so I would recommend checking with your primary doc to cut that out.
