I do not recall anyone agreeing that treating OSA treats colitis.
You have outdone yourself this time AJ.

Colitis and constipation is causes by the physical action of a jackhammer like apneic event?
Many people have intestine jarring jobs and I do not think this is in any way credible.
Jackhammer operators, truck drivers on bad roads, many athletes, many more.
I doubt constipation has any direct link to OSA.
You necer replied to finding autistic children having a higher incidence of OSA that would be so if OSA caused autism.
I could be wrong
