Hi,
Not blowing my own trumpet or anything, but I was at the healthiest I had ever been prior to getting UC symptoms. I was eating very healthy and exercising 6/7 days. I'd love to know if any lifestyle factors affect UC, but I suppose I'll have to wait until they figure out what causes it.
I've been trying to occupy myself by being in contact with friends often, but some days I am really not in the mood and find it hard to drag my mind away from what ends up being a mountain of thoughts. I suppose it's all part of the learning process and I'm sure it'll happen less with time. This website has been great so far. It's great to be able to write this sort of stuff down and chat with people that understand what's going on. For that, I thank everyone on this website.
Thanks,
Hamish.

I have been scuba diving with my Ileostomy for 25 years...never had any issues at all... I have over 200 dives under my "belt" and have never had a concern. I have dove incold water and tropical waters.

Living with an ostomy doesn’t mean you have to live with stoma fluid leakage or skin irritation.
Learn how convex skin barriers work and what benefits they offer.

I am fairly new to the diving community with 10 dives under my belt.I have dove in the great lakes where I live around here in Ontaro and also in the Dominican,I always let mt ostomy get in the way of following that dream then I did it! Do you belong to Padi Group?You must enjoy living close to that ocean cause you could dive quite abit huh?I am a whale fanatic and one day I would love to come where you hang your hat to dive with the whales!! Have you done so?
Thanks for responding to my posting.
