Greene's Colon

[rebmogul]

The colon excuse is BS.

The large intestine comes after the small intestine in the digestive tract and measures approximately 1.5 meters in length. Although there are differences in the large intestine between different organisms, the large intestine is mainly responsible for storing waste, reclaiming water, maintaining the water balance, and absorbing some vitamins, such as vitamin K.

By the time the chyme(food) has reached this tube, almost all nutrients and 90% of the water have been absorbed by the body.


He said he was dehydrated for that fight because of his colon..when you drink your fluids dont go to your colon thats what kidneys are for and thats why you urinate. The colon absorbs water from foods you eat which is not a factor since hes not eating (presumably) in his corner between rounds.


Not to mention he would be sick as hell if it was true, I cant even sit at my desk at work when I have a stomach virus let alone exercise..

Could be true . could not be true only Greene and his camp no for sure. However, I don't think it matters much. Greene is healthy now and didn't impress me much on Friday. I don't see him winning a world title in 2008 or 2009 and more than likely never.

I could be wrong but he strikes me as a B to B+ level fighter. Not elite now and more than likely not ever.

i HAVE ACID REFLEX AND it messes with my IBS

I have personally suffered from the same condition as Allen Green, although my doctors treated me before I had to have it cut out.

He is not full of ****. You have diarrhea every day, you don't want to eat as much, and you have trouble keeping water.

I still went to the boxing gym every day, but It effected me alot. I had less stamina, and I had ALOT less pop on my punches. It is nothing like a stomach virus. You feel fine, but you cant perform up to par.

Its very frustrating. It took a long time to get properly diagnoses.

Thanks for the input.
I would not want to face Miranda while holding back diarrhea for 10 rounds.

I guess he took a gamble on his unbeaten career figuring he could always have a few comeback fights after he was back in good health.

so how do you lose 85% of that and still function?

I'm definitely not qualified to say, but my guess is that it is replaced by something artificial to substitute for what was removed.

Like he said in the original post, its not that essential to proper functioning, so if its gone you can function normally, but when it is not functioning properly, your body goes through all kinds of hell trying to fix it, disrupting other things in the process.

Its like appendicitis. You dont really need your appendix, but when your appendix is ****ed up, so are you.

Im pretty sure they just cut it out and sew the two ends together. Not 100% sure, but Im am 100% sure they do not have an artificial intestine on the market.

The affected part would be removed and rejoined so youd end up with a shortened intestine. I would speculate that his bowel movements may be more frequent and well loose as a result though.

That was a pretty major operation that he had recently, so I'd give Green a little more time before he can be expected to be at his absolute best. He still won easily against a lethargic opponent so I wouldn't hold it against him. There is a big difference between being functional and being at your best after major surgery
