WATCH: Ashton Combdon has a rare dysmotility, as well as a condition that made his brain believe there were obstructions in his bowel that weren’t there.

That caused him to lose his bowel and he went into gastric failure for two years after that. Combdon has had 50 procedures and surgeries, but that hasn’t prevented him from becoming a competitive athlete with the Cowichan Valley Wrestling Club. This spring, he wrestled at both the provincial and national championships.
