Anyone have radiation enteritis, inflammation of your small intestine?

Posted by skmm @skmm, Jun 21, 2023

Has anyone else ended up with chronic radiation enteritis from pancreatic tumor radiation. I'm starving to death. Weight is plummeting, blood pressure is low. I can eat and have a g-tube but I can't absorb enough nutrients to stay hydrated. Not enough is getting through the small intestine. If I put too much in my stomach, I just throw everything up.

I have chronic digestive issues since radiation last year for endometrial cancer. Bowel obstructions, enteritis, severe abdominal pain and diarrhea. It is life altering. I am currently getting hyperbaric oxygen treatments and I think it is helping.

I am about to start Hyperbaric treatment. I have hopes that it will heal some damage done by radiation to my pelvis and a radical hysterectomy. Do you have any pointers for me? Do you feel better?

Has anyone tried PEMF treatment for chronic radiation enteritis? It increases internal blood flow.
I have seen it work wonders on horses, and many people claim it is amazing for orthopedic issues. I want to try it.
