singers' overuse of their abdominal muscles, >as a cause of colitis...
I have never heard of this in my life. I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis when I was 18 years old, (approximately 18 years before I started taking voice lessons and learning how to sing and using my abdominals (such as they exist in a man who weighs currently more than 300 lbs. (but is losing weight) and does not exorcise).
When I was first diagnosed back in the 70s I was told that Doctors really didn't know why one gets Colitis. If it is hereditary, or what. But no Doctor ever said that it was because of singing. The usuall age for first getting Colitis is 18 years of age ( at least that is what I was told in the 70's)
I don't think singing could have anything to do with it as I was not a singer when I got it. --- Dale Gillespie - Tenor bigtenordale@a... bigtenordale@a... Phone: 604-945-6273 Cell: 604-818-8427 Coquitlam, BC Canada
