Handling the very worst IBD

imaginable

I’d come across the work of Lyrae Willis some years

ago on an internet forum. She’s a scientist – but also a

life-long suyerer of the worst version of irritable

bowel disease I’d ever heard of.

I always believed I had it bad. I mean, mine’s bad

enough that doctors say they can’t treat it. Yet Lyrae

had next-level awful IBD.

In chronic pain, malnourished to the point of semi-

starvation (I mean, her ribs were showing…) – and

either sensitive or allergic to just about anything the

doctors gave her – she’d been told her next step –

her only step – was a colostomy.

That is, remove part of the colon, cut a hole in her

stomach and feed the poop out of her body to a bag

strapped to her side.

IBD is never nice. But Lyrae’s IBD was so severe she

couldn’t even take the immunosuppressive drugs

doctors thought might reduce her symptoms.

So relied totally on diet and stress relief to handle her

illness.
