Common Questions and Answers about Ddavp and gi bleed
ddavp
Mine is partial so it ebbs and flows a bit and I do have to adjust my DDAVP dose sometimes. Without DDAVP my fluid consumption is 4 or more gallons a day. At first, I kept a fluid intake and output diary. Also I weighed myself every morning to see if I was taking to much medication and/or not consuming the right amount of fluids.
And yes, for me the best approach has ended up to take DDAVP just at night so that I can sleep without having to get up every 1/2 hour to drink and pee.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If your stools are dark and you taste blood in mouth and the taste has altered, then your reflux is not under control. Also you have an active GI bleed either in food pipe or stomach or first part of intestine. If neglected, this can turn serious. Omeprazole alone is not helping you. You will need a combination of acid and reflux reducing drugs. Also some life style changes you will need to follow. Avoid heavy meals and eat frequent small meals.
My daughter is 13 years old and has always & still struggles with bed wetting. She was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes 1.5 years ago. Her endocrinologist does not believe the wetting has to do with her diabetes. If her blood sugars are high before she goes to bed we can almost be 100% sure she will have a wet bed, but most times her sugars are in range and she might still wet. She has also gone through many test on her bladder and all is normal.
blood in stools, also known as melaena and indicates the presence of blood (oxidized haemoglobin) from an upper GI bleed. Causes could be infections, inflammation, gastric/ GI ulcers, oesophageal varices, GI growths/ polyps, a-v malformations, varices, diverticulosis, fistulas, fissures, AV malformation, GI ischaemia and necrosis, bleeding disorders etc. Without further evaluation it would be difficult to differentiate between the causes.
An endoscopy and colonoscopy were performed and both were negative. No further GI studies were done, and I was discharged. While in the hospital, my blood values showed very low WBC and low neutrophils. I was referred to a hemotologist who has monitored me since then. All my blood counts since June 2009 have shown the same results, low wbc and low neutrophils (absolute). Otherwise, I have been healthy with no increase in infections.
November 1994 Upper GI Bleed from me chewing Aspergum, tested me for HIV and I was positive. Year 2000 Upper GI Bleed, 8 blood transfusions duodenum ulcer. Feb 2010 Upper GI Bleed. I've had GERD a long time, taken Proton Pump Inhibitors for years and I have it under control. I started eating many smaller meals per day, becoming aware that chewing my food better I use less water and that means less stomach acid, and Proton Pump Inhibitors and I went our separate ways.
It’s more dull and annoying. A little background. Last month I had a kidney stone and a near fatal upper GI bleed. I passed the kidney stone about 2 weeks ago. I recently, in addition to the pelvic pain started feeling fullness in my bladder. In the last month I’ve had 2 X-Rays and 3 CT scans- one with contrast. Aside from the kidney stone everything was normal including the pelvic area(no mass etc).
Yay!!! I'm so glad to hear he's doing better!.... Wait a minute. Did I just read the last sentence correctly? If so, this improvement will be short lived. I sounds like I was probably worse than your husband considering I had a major GI bleed in addition to the ascites, BUT I am doing FANTASTIC now. This was Jan. 2008 when I was diagnosed and was prepared for the transplant, etc., but my numbers just keep getting better. So, I am a really good example of how one can turn things around..
My dad was admitted to the hospital Thursday night (9/4/09) for what we believe is a diverticular bleed. He is now in MICU, and has had 3 units of blood. He continues to pass large amounts of blood. The doctors are trying to avoid a colonoscopy because he had a mild heart attack approximately 3-1/2 weeks ago.
Black and tarry in texture- this indicates a bleed somewhere in the upper GI tract
Bright red- small amounts of blood on the outside of the stool can be from hemorrhoids or anal fissures, however if the amount is excessive or its throughouy the stool as well it could be a bleed somewhere in the lower GI tract
White or clay colored: small amounts of white spots in stool can just be from a high fat meal, however if more than 50% of the stool is white or clay colored this can be due to a block in
