I was 35yrs, (1986) when I was dig. with UC. Within a year I had to have a colectomy and jpouch fashioned has worked fairley well up to the last few years now have possibly CD and am on Pred. worked at first but I think it is now stopped. I had stopped smoking about 3 mos previous to getting ill in 1986 I had no problems with my insides up to that point. I mentioned this to my GP and he said there was no connection but when I said the same to my GI he actually said there has been studies that show that nicotine my play some part in protecting you from IBD. Has any one else had this happen to them. I often wonder if I had started smoking again if it would have reversed the disease. Shawne
