Just curious who was and was not breast fed as a baby. This may of already been covered in the past but wanted to ask to get a concensus. I myself was not breast fed.
Thanks

I was also not, at least not past a couple weeks or so. At least one study showed an inverse breast-fed vs UC incudence correlation but not that strong; past thread showed plenty here with UC who were breast fed but I am certain it (breast feeding) at least lessens UC odds a bit by priming immune system via gut flora diversity earlier

I was not but I 2nd fruitgirl's comment. We were discussing this recently. It seems like we are pretty evenly split, not a shocking number of non-breastfed people.
