Irritable bowel, ulcerative colitis linked to intestinal fungi

[BlancheSplanchnik]

10. I started bleeding out the ass, age 7

excruciating pain, humiliation, bathroom urgency up to 25 times in 12 hours...anemia, late-stage crippling side effects, transfusions, social ostracism, cruelty, abuse, and trivialization from strangers and even a few in the medical community.....

Plus an abusive, violent, mentally ill mother--the stress aggravated the flare ups.

The stress of trying to lead life, never knowing when the dreaded public pants crapping might happen...your mind always focused on top priority #1: Live through the pain, find a bathroom in time, clench your butt so you don't do something to humiliate yourself any further.


I had major surgery --emergency ileostomy (bag O' shit, in the common parlance), age 19. Just woke up with it after the surgery---no one had discussed bags and such during my manymany many hospitalizations and visits with my Gastroenterologist. Surprise, surprise!

More major surgery age 22.

Ai Yi.

Fun times. Fun times.
