    Nicotine gum is pretty expensive, some are cheap; but Nicotine is very good. omega three acid, and cold cabbage juice. (Vitamin U) wikipedia it.

    Best fighters other than medicine. You could take the nicotine patch, but nicotine is dangerous!

    You can take a nicotine patch too, but yeah. Rather die than lose my colon. There’s liver fish oil,, Vitamin A tablets, CABBAGE. I’m pretty sure if you took nicotine patches, and gum; you could have been fine.

    I have heard people say they started smoking after getting colitis and it helps them. Not that I’d ever do that. They also say that smokers have a lower risk of initially developing colitis than non-smokers, so maybe there is something to the nicotine idea.

    But would you really rather die than lose your colon? That seems remarkable and sad to me. Do you have that much attachment to it?

    Maybe I could’ve been fine with nicotine gum, but the surgeries really were no big deal and I’m glad to have had them. If I could live life over again I’d choose to have colitis and choose to have my colon removed. Having something like this happen to me has really clarified my thinking on life and given me a better outlook. It has made life more meaningful and taught me so much that I couldn’t have learned otherwise.

    So I’m thankful also for everything that happened to me with colitis.

    Man, I feel stupid calling TPN Total Patient Nutrition! I swear that’s what other people told me. Or maybe nobody told me what it stood for and I just made up those words. Thanks for the correction!

    And it was only 27 degrees on the day this was filmed!

    Rather die, than lose my colon. You NICOTINE works better with treating colitis. Feels horible, but you need to chew the gum, or take a path. Won’t kill yah, but it feels really bad abosrbing that nicotine
