Like Tinkys OH my B-I-L was rushed to theatre with suspected appendicitis, on opening him up they noticed his intestine was bad? (i didn't want to know all the details)cut it out and he's been ok since,he's supposed to follow a diet etc but he's not under the doctors or hospital for follow ups and still goes on holidays and out every weekend on the sauce, he gets a bad stomach now and again but it doesn't lay him low. |

My youngest son (age 37) has this and was diagnosed in 1998. He has been on various drugs including steroids. He now has injection every other week and controls the pain with watching what he eats. |
