A member asked:
Will i be able live a normal life if my bowels are removed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You cannot live without your bowels. However, you can live with only a portion of your bowels. You probably will not have completely normal digestion and will be at increased risk for diarrhea, but can certainly live a very full and wonderful life in spite of this.
