Hello everyone! My name is Ben and I was born March 10, 2008. I have Cystic Fibrosis and Short Gut. This is all about me and my determination to find a cure for Cystic Fibrosis.
I was born with a blockage in my small intestine. This caused a large part of the intestine to twist. When I was 12 hours old I underwent surgery to remove the bad parts. I have about 40-50cm of good intestine remaining plus a healthy ileocecal valve. On March 22, 2008 I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis.
