hi jimjams - i've read lots of your stuff with great interest. i'm doing my own research but would appreciate your opinion on our situation... dh has severe colitis. he had a ileostomy followed by an internal pouch (if you're not familiar this means he had his entire colon removed and then some internal reconstruction using his small intestine). dh is fine now but his condition can be heredatary. i keep hearing about the link between mmr/gut/crohns and i'm not sure if i should be worried as dd has her mmr due in couple of months.
