I am 92 years and and according to my dr. have MC after taking celebrex for many years. All my stool samples have been negative I am scheduled for a colostomy this month. I have been careful with what I eat I have lost 15-20lbs now weigh 120 lbs. Chicken, port fish are ok and well cooked vegetables. I can even sometimes eat a small peeled apple. If I am stressed and not careful I will have liquid stools and urgency. This is all new to me and I can only take tylenol pain not any nsaids, if I do all they symptoms of MC return in full and I am miserable.

@margaretamelia I would ask the same thing. Why a colostomy? You have just been diagnosed. Your doctor is going straight to surgery without suggesting other options? That sounds like someone knife happy. Maybe you should get a second opinion.
