I have suffered from this disease for 3 1/2 years while my doctors have tried a boatload of medicines with no positive results.

I am currently scheduled to get a colostomy, which will remove my large intestine.

The schedule in the article will not be in time for me to try it.

I’m sorry to hear that. Are you sure they’ve tried all possible treatments? How about dietary changes? One groundbreaking book by Elaine Gottschall,

Breaking the Vicious Cycle-Intestinal Health Through Diet presents dietary changes one may make to not only ease the symptoms, but perhaps even make the disease almost go away. I do have it in my colitis “library”. Maybe you’ve seen it? There are others.

I have had UC for 30 years, and have been on various medications which did help. Now I’m receiving Entyvio infusions. I still have my colon, but lost my liver to Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis. After four years on the transplant list I was lucky enough to receive a new liver. I still have UC, and I was warned that it could happen again.

I wish you well, just make sure you’ve exhausted all other avenues.
