  • thanks for sharing Katie's story... Please stop by and see some our infovids about IBD.

  • I had a sever form of Colitis. I was diagnosed in December 2005 (I was 17). In the summer of 2010 my Colitis was no longer responding to medical treatment. On July 17, 2010 I had my entire colon removed at the UW Madison Hospital. I documented my experience on my Msashleyls1 channel on Youtube. I am currently waiting to have a second surgery to have my J-Pouch connected up.

  • This guy Peter Finch has a great story about UC.
