Out of all the times you and I talked, I never knew you had Crohns! I am sorry to hear that but I am more than happy to hear that you are doing better

Well, not quite.

In 1993, I was diagnosed with UC and treated for such, endured 3 flare ups & during the last in 2005 an ileostomy was created.

Whilst awaiting reconnection (the term J pouch was never mentioned) my Surgeon and Pathology Dept. came to the conclusion, I was in fact; suffering from Crohn’s.

Eventually, during 2012 and due to my persistence; my original Pathology report was re-examined and as I’d not suffered a flare up for 7 years; nor taking any medication other than the Loperamide; I was re-diagnosed as suffering from Indeterminate Colitis.

As you’re aware, by the time of my takedown (Jan 2015), I’ve actually had an ileostomy; either, end (9½) or loop close to 10 years; and nearly 16 years later, I’ve still not had the Crohn’s flare up.

Thanks for your concern.
