I grew up in the church, and I feel very strongly about it.

Ulcerative colitis can be cured by the operation, but you cannot cure Crohn's disease.

Only a portion of my intestinal tract was working.

I got cocky and I stopped taking my vitamins. It was an inconvenience to have a suitcase full of vitamins with me on the road. About two years ago, it caught up with me.

Stress exacerbates any problem, whether it's diabetes, heart trouble, MS, or whatever.

Have a hand in your own treatment. I have nothing but praise for our doctors, but I think they could help us better, and we can help them if we work together.

My daughter is one of the associate producers on two shows for Disney. I am really proud of her.
