Thank you to Lona O’Connor for writing the piece, “Bathroom is flush with creative campaign for colon health,” about Wendy and Jamie Greenhut and their efforts to raise awareness regarding inflammatory bowel diseases.
    I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis when I was 35 years old. I’ve lived with this insidious disease for over 20 years. When people learn of my disease, I often hear the comment, “It’s hell getting old.” I then attempt to explain that ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s are diseases most often diagnosed in teenagers and young adults, and although treatments to manage the symptoms have improved over the years, there is no cure.
    I applaud Jamie and her mom for shedding light on these serious but “silent” diseases.
