So, they say you're not supposed to go swimming if you have diarrhea. Well, if you have UC and nothing infectious, is it still a bad idea to go swimming?

Well, I may be biased.  Put myself through college on a swimming scholarship with UC. Go for it.

No reason for it to be bad. I voted wrong btw, lol.

as long as you're not going to dirty the pool, why not??

really ...as long as you don't have an accidental spillage...why not!!

Go for it (....and have your getaway planned, just in case an accident happens!).

      I haven't been swimming all summer because of a flare.  Afraid of the bacteria in the water, especially the ocean at the Jersey shore..ugh.

Swim, swim, swim if you can (I wish I could).

Who is they?

What kind of water are they talking about? Lake water?

I would think water would be good for flares (assuming there's no bad bacteria in it that is).

I plan to go hiking up one of the rivers in California on Monday. So I hope it's not a factor in triggering flares.

Yes I am the retard that posted the only wrong no vote, lol.

I would say yes as long as you don't have diarrhea in the pool. lol... We have our own pool and I swim in it all the time. I don't put my head below the water just the same, plus I don't want to get my colored hair wet.
