New liver survival times / Diet & UC

[Guest guest]

Hi

I read in the press (so it may not be true!) that people who have

kidney tx's have om av 10 years b4 they need another. I have never

heard that for the liver. Do we know much about new liver survival

times?

Also in the tabloids I was reading that reducing fibre (eg white bread

rather than wholemeal) can be good for bowel disease as the fibre can

irritate / go thru more quickly. I have just tried this (albeit 2 days)

and it does semm to help. My uc is quiescent, but i still have loose

motions, but whneever i ask my docs about diet they poo poo the idea

(excuise the pun!). Has anyone heard / tried this?
