Message: [QUOTE="LongShanks44, post: 2668315, member: 3009"] Very sorry to hear this. I was diagnosed with UC about 5 years ago which is like crohns twin sister. I had an ileostomy w bag for almost 2 years before my 3rd surgery “take down” this summer for the j pouch. Living with the bag was no fun but it was a hell of a lot better than feeling like i was going to die everyday. You can still live a full, enjoyable, life but it is without a doubt challenging at times. Please PM me if you’d ever like to chat or your son needs to talk with someone who’s been through it... People would say to me “I cannot imagine what that’s got to be like” and my response was always “No. No you cannot”. [/QUOTE]
