Glossary


  • My posts contain a fair amount of abbreviations and nicknames, here is where I try to make some sense of that. I'll probably add to this page as time goes on (and suggestions come in [hint, hint, hint]).

Biography

About Jim's Guts - Talking about your internal plumbing and its byproducts isn't exactly the most pleasant of conversational topics. And really, I understand that, but Inflammatory Bowel Disease (usually referred to as IBD it's an overarching term that refers to Crohn's and Ulcerative Colitis) is a serious problem for over 1.4 million people. Including me. It's something that people need to know more about, and I intend to help make that happen.

Personally I've had to deal with IBD since 1993 (I'll get around to posting my history at some point). Since 2005 I've been involved with Get Your Guts In Gear (also known as GYGIG). The Ride is a 3 day, 210 mile event that seeks to raise awareness of IBD and to empower patients and their families.

Thanks for stopping by - Jim
