Diverticulitis almost killed me.
The repair and associated misery are now mostly vague memories. The scar on my abdomen is a reminder.
I never get the hate. Probably a little jealousy. Guys a good dude.
I’ve never heard of this guy or this disease. Here’s what I found on the disease:
Crohn’s disease is a chronic (long-term) disease that causes inflammation in your gastrointestinal (GI) tract. It can affect any part of the GI tract from mouth to anus. Crohn’s is a progressive disease, meaning it can get worse over time. It’s important that your treatment goals include symptom relief, remission, and endoscopic improvement
.
Crohn’s belongs to a larger group of conditions known as inflammatory bowel disease, or IBD. According to the National Institutes of Health, it’s estimated that more than half a million people live with Crohn’s disease in the United States.

What Causes Crohn’s Disease?
The exact causes of Crohn’s disease aren’t fully known, but research suggests that genetics, the environment, or an overactive immune system contribute to it.

Inflammation and Crohn’s Disease
Inflammation is your body’s normal response to protect you against something your immune system thinks will cause harm.
When inflammation caused by your immune system doesn’t go away, it can cause conditions like Crohn’s disease.

Crohn’s Disease Symptoms
Symptoms can range from mild to severe, depending on the severity and location of the inflammation.
The most common symptoms of Crohn’s disease caused by inflammation are:
Diarrhea
Cramping
Abdominal pain
Weight loss
Fatigue
Sometimes symptoms can come on suddenly, without warning. This is called a flare-up.
The opposite is also true, in which you may experience times with few or no symptoms, also known as remission.
Crohn’s Disease Progression
Crohn’s is a progressive disease, meaning it can get worse over time. Excess inflammation can spread into the deeper layers of the intestinal lining and may lead to further complications.
That’s why it’s important to take action and work with your doctor to recognize the signs.
“I have colitis; I get along fine.”
My cat just died of colitis last week! 😭
The guy is 25 and worth $500 million and employees 250 people so he is doing something right. He seems quite generous.
I know I’d disagree with him on a lot of subjects he seems to do far more good than harm.
I did laugh when he opened a free burger restaurant and the State Patrol shut him down for causing long traffic jams on the highway.
Incredible
That’s what killed Glenn Fry
If he’s going to help blind and deaf people and provide fresh drinking water, he should show off all he wants.
My brother was diagnosed in 1979 before the knew all about it. And died in 2009 (45 years old and weighed 85lbs). The treatment is better now vs then. The guy has lots of years left
I had the same experience but still have digestive issues.
Did you change your diet after surgery?
I hate to think he went through the misery I did.
The quacks said a couple of hours more and I would have not made it.
My sympathies first off and glad you got through.
After getting released and getting stabilized at home with that osteomy and bags, I was mostly a protein shake and liquid diet and worked into a restricted diet. A month or so later I was cleared but I didn’t vary much.
All those months while waiting on reversal surgery, I slowly got back to normal eating.
After repair, I was on a soft kind of diet for about two weeks.
That restriction got lifted.
I tend to stick with keto and the like.
