Hi Everyone,
Last year I had my colon, rectum and anus removed because of the seriousness of my IBS. Initially I was suppose to have my ileostomy for just 6 months so that my colon can rest but as my doctors continue to run more test, I had other related conditions, pelvic floor dysfunction.
Needless to say, my colon was so badly diseased, (completely with mucus) and I developed diversion colitis so that is what led me to the removal of my large intestines.
I'm fairly educated with digestive disease because of the 7 years of pain and suffering, although want to learn more about treatments that are working for others and for those awful days that I lie in bed wishing someone would understand how difficult it is to live a healthy life.
