Hello, good luck on your continued recovery!

Did your UC have any impact on your primary sclerosing cholangitis (exacerbating symptoms, hindering recovery, etc.)? Also, what got you interested in horticulture?

What are your thoughts on the existence of iodine allergies ? My mom developed a sudden seafood allergy after going in for an MRI and having a reaction to the iodine-based contrast they used; iodized salt also causes a similar reaction, as well.

But, since the human body requires iodine for certain functions, wouldn't she have a constant reaction if the iodine is what she was allergic to ? I've done some reading about it online, but haven't found any studies/articles/what-have-you that have a definitive answer in one direction or the other. If it has any bearing on anything, my mom has also had a latex/banana allergy for most if not all of her life.
