Do you want to know what you aren’t being told about Crohn’s, colitis, and all chronic illness for that matter? Seriously, do you really want to know? You might not like the answer. The truth has a funny way of forcing us to make a choice. You must choose sides, and making no choice at all is itself a choice. So, I challenge you right now to be open to my observations and to consider them seriously.

My name is Austin Powers (YES! Seriously!). I’m the author of “The Ostomy Guy Story: Memoirs of a Bagman” and the host of “The Ostomy Guy Podcast.” I was diagnosed with fistulizing Crohn’s and colitis when I was 10 years old in 1992. It all started because of a fistula opening near my rectum. At that time there were no answers as to how to physically handle something like this, let alone emotionally, and there still aren’t. Children of all ages are getting diagnosed with chronic diseases, and left with more questions; the important ones have too many answers, while the most important ones have no answers. Both leave you feeling paralyzed.
