Hi!
I'm glad I came across this. Lots of great info.
I will need a liver transplant, just not sure when. No hurry... 😊.
Long story short I lost my gallbladder, anus, rectum and colon to UC and complications in the last handful of years and my liver has been a trooper despite being told it wouldn't last this long. I was diagnosed with PSC in 2010.
Looking forward to reading more.

I will not be able to watch the zoom mtg on nov 4. Will it be shown another time or on another platform?

@msgtrebholtz, I hope that you will join us on the Culinary Arts Zoom meeting next week. It is fun to learn together and to discuss health issues that relate to transplant patients with transplant patients. With a diagnosis of PSC, you will benefit greatly by being informed now and by practicing good nutrition before you need a transplant. I transplanted with PSC in 2009, and one of the first things that my GI told me was to eat healthy and stay active. It was good advice!

There are many more articles in the Transplant Blog Newsfeed that are written by Mayo staff as well as guest members. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/transplant/
Feel free to wander thru the list of topics and read all or select those of interest to you. Of course, as is the case on Mayo Connect, you can leave a comment or ask a question anywhere anytime!

Does your past history with UC require special dietary requirements? Do you like to cook?
