Man decides to go on a poo marathon' before having his anus stitched shut

A 32-year-old man has been using as many London public toilets he possibly can and even documenting his experiences on his blog. Paul Silver, who suffers from Crohn’s disease, decided to go on this ‘poo marathon’ so that he could raise funds for his surgery.

Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease which causes severe constipation and diarrhoea. Silver’s operation, due on April 21, will involve the removal of his large bowel, his anus sewn shut and his small bowel attached to the side of his torso along with a stoma bag. He says that he is ’75 percent positive’ that the surgical procedure, called permanent ileostomy, will help him lead a comfortable life in the future.

Silver is now looking forward to enjoy the toilet facilities at place like the Harrods, the Royal Albert Hall and the Houses of Parliament as part of his self-described ‘poo marathon’ challenge, reports the Unilad.
