I have Ulcerative Colitis, they removed a pre-cancerous polyp out of me two years ago. I was diagnosed in 1994, and I’m 67 now. I’ll be getting them for a while longer….

Good luck to you. I hope those polyps are a thing of the past.

I was diagnosed with diverticulitis years ago, and followed the doctors warnings of what not to eat. I even excluded seeds although he hadn't specifically mentioned them. Despite restricting corn, popcorn, nuts, and seeds, I ended up with a perforated bowel back in 2010. I had to have a temporary colostomy for three months. Then they did the reversal. The remaining two abdominal surgeries I had, was to repair an incisional hernia where the colostomy stoma was, and to have my gall bladder removed. Because of the previous 3 surgeries, they couldn't do it laparoscopically, and had to open me up. Regardless, I was home the next day, and have never had a problem since. I can eat greasy food without issue. I'd read that a lot of people who have their gall bladder removed, get diarrhea, even after eating a burger.
