UFC: Brock Lesnar’s condition revealed…….”kinda”

Boy do I feel like a prick! I judged the guy and questioned his “heart”.
Ok, they are saying Brock has an intestinal dis-order and no detail’s. Other site’s are posting flashy subject title’s in regard to his health but, no one knows what the exact problem is.
I’m going to take an educated guess and say it’s diverticulitis:
“Diverticulitis is swelling (inflammation) of an abnormal pouch (diverticulum) in the intestinal wall. These pouches are usually found in the large intestine (colon). The presence of the pouches themselves is called diverticulosis.”
I love “poop” joke’s and fart jokes even more but, this is no joke!! The condition can be hereditary. Chance’s are though that Brock got the condition from too much protein.
I know that sound’s “hokey” but, Nigel Mcguiness had the same condition early on in his career and from what I hear, it damn near killed him!
I’ve been diagnosed with beginning stage and I know that it was caused by me ingesting too much of the wrong combo of protein supplement’s, in the wrong timed increment’s, for far too long trying to get “big”.
What happens with these intestinal blockage’s is pocket’s form and you can’t pass waste. It becomes an infection which absorb’s really fast and travels thru the body and it’s just “MISERABLE”! You get a fever, your bloated like you are pregnant, and you can’t even touch your stomach without wanting to cry!!
I was very lucky to find out early because I can take some precautions with my diet, water intake, and whatever I put in my body. Even with that, I have a flare up about annually. But, being early stage, I can “juice fast” for 2-3 day’s and I’m ok.
What will probably happen with Lesnar is, he will have to have a good amount of intestine removed after they fight the infection. This will take him a pretty decent amount of time to get back to normal and even longer to put size back on! Hence, the concern’s about the possibility of him not returning to UFC.
I believe he will though due to the fact’s that he is not what you’d call a “normal” person that get’s the condition! He has an enormous threshold for pain, will be more in touch with his body, and is young!!! I wish him all the luck in the world!!

One of my room mates from my PCW days had something like this. He had a bubble grow in the interior of his intestine. His was completely a natural occurrence. They originally did something to him I believe medication to bring the bubble down? but it didn’t work. HE needed to go back and have a section of his intestine removed in order to fix the problem. Recovery times was LONG.
