Millie, My husband had an ostomy due to Ulcerative Colitis. He suffered with this disease for a few years. He finally got so bad, they did surgery. He was in the hospital for a month. They took his colon out and then reconnected his small intestine on a second surgery so he lost the bag, although now he will have chronic diarrhea for the rest of his life. His brother also had Ulcerative Colitis. They say it is not hereditary, but it is funny that brothers have both had it. Kel
