fall and late spring he'd have a horrible flare up. Stress (I always thought) was a huge factor.

He had surgery last February to remove the entire colon and had an ileostomy until June of this year when they did a 'take down' and reversed it. It's taken a while for him to fully recover and he still has some toileting issues but all in all he is SO much healthier. NO flare up this November/Fall .. no bleeding, no pain, nothing ...

Please take care of yourself !
