*this* september...? 50 pounds?
that's super unhealthy, man. losing 10 pounds a week isn't really something you want to shoot for - what the heck are you doing?

I had colitis for years. Amazingly it mostly quit when I quit my job at the library (who would have guessed a library to be that stressful of a job).
I still have occasional bouts when super stressed but they're pretty rare anymore. Anger is a HUGE trigger, btw.

how can i get me some of this colitis of which you speak? :P just kidding. sorry you're having health problems, tikk, but i'm glad to hear it's manageable, and that's a heck of a side effect!

It's NOT fun...unless you enjoy shaking and cold sweats and voiding everything in your digestive system extremely rapidly.
It's exhausting, too. You wouldn't think just sitting there would wipe you out like it does.

except the cramps and "flow" last for months at a time

ever wonder why pat is so skinny? he has nonspecific colitis, which is just what it sounds like: colitis for no good reason.

crohns and ulceritive colitis are pretty similar
cept crohns affects entire digestive tract, where colitis is just the large intestine
