Reply to "Coughing due to Ulcerative Colitis"

I've been diagnosed with Bronchiectasus too! It's mild but I have to keep on top of it. 

I was diagnosed about a year after my surgery and my lung specialist confirms that there is a correlation to having the pouch surgery and developing bronchiectasis but no one knows why. I think it's that there's a reason your body is enflamed and once one organ disappears it moves itself to another organ. 

I currently am on no medication (I've been pregnant or nursing for the last 3 years and the progesterone spike puts it into remission) but I've heard great things about salt pipes, salt caves (if you live near them) and I'd like to try that salt nebulizer or even a salt lamp.
