When the highlight of your day is not having a bm first thing in the morning.

You know you have UC when you have to take Immodium to go out on a date!!!

You know you have UC when you have an APP on your phone for all the good bathrooms in the area!

You know you have UC when you keep air spray and toilet liners in your purse

Excellent thread!!!!

...When you want to build your dream house with more bathrooms in it than a baseball stadium

You know exactly what your parent is explaining when it comes to bad bm's - and give her/him advice, better than any doctor would

You've had more scopes than your mother who is almost 60 (in my case)

Do the half naked dance when you see a perfect bm. Frankly who has time to pull those knickers up?

Know the nurse's by name on the scope wing than the elderly

You still fear urgency while you're in remission

Knowing exactly how many 1"x1" tiles are on the bathroom floor at work just KILLED me with laughter because I count tiles every time I'm in there, too!

At my old office, the tile pattern was such that I could relax my eyes until the tiles became 3D and I started looking for those hidden 3D pictures...that's how long I'd be in there.

You know you have UC when someone mentions their 'GI issues' and you immediately perk up.

You know you have UC when you've sent more emails from the bathroom than anywhere else.

"GI I and perk up!" LOL yes, I can relate to that. I'm just hoping to cross paths with someone who has this so we can commiserate.

- 2 solid BM's in the toilet and now your walking around smiling to yourself and feeling euphoric.

Someone here didn't have a BM in the morning? I didn't think that was even possible!

When you avoid stores that have blow dryers instead of paper towels; or worse yet, when their paper towels are the flimsy kind that fall apart like TP when you wet them before going into the stall.

Love this thread!

When you're years into remission yet still feel appreciative to be able to finish a meal without having to excuse yourself to go to the bathroom.
Posted 8/3/2013 2:57 AM (GMT 0)
....when you've seriously considered pooping yourself because you're just sick of getting up and hauling ass to the toilet for the umpteenth time.

When you've actually come up with productive things to do while "going"...catching up on some reading, updating that to-do list...
Posted 8/3/2013 1:31 PM (GMT 0)
LOL, SouthernGirl, I've done most of my reading in the bathroom for years. That's where my Kindle lives.

Your sinks are all full of soaking underwear or they are all hanging in the shower to dry

You figure you better get a few more packs of undies since you go through so many in a day

Spray n Wash is on sale and you stock up

When you're newly diagnosed and you pick up your first BOX of Rowasa enemas.

Haha!!!

You know you have UC when you cry with happiness because you had a solid poo.
Posted 8/9/2013 12:48 AM (GMT 0)
You know you have UC when you eat something you aren't supposed to and start praying because you know what's coming lol you immediately locate the bathroom

This for real! I got four boxes the first time and the pharmacist spent like 10 minutes trying to find a plastic bag big enough for all of them...

Did anyone watch the episode of "What would you do?" where they had a pharmacist calling out loud the name of the medicine someone was picking up and making comments about the diseases that people had?
Posted 8/9/2013 1:09 AM (GMT 0)
Omg lol I would freak. I'd be like oh yeah??? And??!

You know you have UC when all the books you've been checking out at the library are about UC/Crohns or about diets for people with special needs.
Posted 8/9/2013 2:12 AM (GMT 0)
After walking out the bathroom your partner asks "was it a good poop or bad poop"?

You know you have UC when

You get exited if you see a promotion offering free samples of disposable underwear
or
When you see disposable underwear in the clearance bin and think about getting them as you might be able to use them in the near future. You don't buy them.  Later you realize what a dumb decision that was.
