1Beans, Beans, the magical fruit?no longer 1 Citation The nice thing about not having a colon is that eating beans isn?t a problem. I just thought of this the other day when we were having beans. They don?t have time to sit there and ferment. No farting. I?ve never had much of a problem with beans before, especially the last few years of having UC due to the transit time being so fast, but I just thought it was a funny thought., technorati.com

1 Citation I?ve never been a heavy guy. In fact, it?s been almost impossible for me to gain much weight. Ever since I was little, I?ve been skinny. I?ve never been much over 135, despite being almost six feet tall. And over the last few years, even during the ?good? times, I haven?t been able to get over 115. I would just get to that and plateau out, no matter how much I ate. But now I?m pushing 150. It?s a new problem. I?m going to have to buy new clothes and start exercising soon. I might even have to, technorati.com

1 Citation I got one pair of scissors with my ?intro package? from Hollister. But I have a ?to go? supply kit and an ?at home? kit, and only one pair of scissors. I checked with the supply company and they said another pair was $41 and that it wasn?t covered by my insurance. I wasn?t really interested in spending that much for a pair of scissors so I said no. I figured I would just buy a pair of fingernail scissors or something to use in a pinch. I happened to mention it to my dad, who?s a vet. He said t, technorati.com

1 Citation The twists and turns of having a chronic disease in our family has taken us in an unforeseen and challenging direction. A member of our family was diagnosed with severe ulcerative colitis (UC) in his early 20?s. With no prior knowledge of the disease, only physical and mental discomfort, distress, confusion and denial, a long yet relevant journey was just beginning that lasted 7 years of chronic illness, and just now we are all embarking on a new life.

1 Citation I know it?s weird for a twenty-five year old male to have hot flashes. But a couple of weeks ago (about two months after my surgery), I started having these periods where I would just have to stop and wait for a minute while whatever mental thing it was passed. When it first started, these ?episodes? were preceeded by my skin getting all read and hot. I thought they were quite weird but got used to them enough that I didn?t have to stop and wait them out. But they had me a bit concerned. So th, technorati.com

1 Citation It?s not been quite a decade since I?ve played golf, but it has been quite a while. It just wasn?t very workable with colitis for most of the time. Sometimes during a remission I could play, but even that wasn?t really possible in the last several years. That much walking without a bathroom anywhere around just wasn?t a good idea. Anyway, yesterday I broke the streak and went golfing. I actually had a lot of fun and the bathroom was the last thing on my mind, except of course when the port-a-po, technorati.com

And people often ask this question because we are told there is a high risk of complications, long recovery time, etc?But what we think is that this is a really complex question because there are so many factors weighing in, so obviously your surgeon is the best one to talk with about this. Nonetheless, if you look over Mark?s journal you?ll see he didn?t miss that much work, we document all his timelines of when, technorati.com
