"Small bowel fistula. Had a hysterectomy, and my bowel was cut. Developed fistula. Had second surgery by a general surgeon and developed a fistula of the small bowel after four resections of the small bowel. Has been a high-output fistula through the incision site, at the belly button level. Octreotide did slow down the fistula output from 1350 ml/24-hour period to now just a trickle (a ml or so per day). On some days, the output is zero. Side effects have been many: burning of the throat, much hair loss, whole-body rash including my face and in my hair, nausea, and dry heaves. I was first on 50 mcg three times per day, and that was increased to 100 mcg three times per day. That's when the hair loss and rash started."
