Hey guys, so I'm trying to figure out what I can drink without my body freaking out. Normally, after drinking, I get a slight to moderate flare, and that totally blows. The only thing I know I'm...
Next time, I suggest you ice it first for about 10 minutes and take tylenol half an hour in advance. I used to get huge, plateaued rashes on my stomach, and that kept them from forming....
Thank you for posting this. I'm currently trying my hardest to not drop out of college, and just went through a break up because I was too tired and weak to be a contributing member of my own...
Hey guys, So I've been in a flare for a long time. I just started on a new study drug, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm in pain right now. What do you guys do to ease the pain? Of course I'm...
Everyone's symptoms work differently. I know that my last one to go and first one to show up is urgency, then frequency, loose stools, blood, and last and rarest is pain. Everyone has a different...
Hi, Your daughter and I sound like the same person. Seriously. Same age, nearly same history, both waiting for drugs, in college. What they're doing for me is they put me on Lialda and Uceris...
Hey there! I have some answers, though I'm not promising accuracy, just based off of myself and some doctor's advice. 1) There are three stages of healing: where you feel better, where your colon...

I have a few ways. For basic people that ask: "It's an autoimmune disease where my white blood cells attack my large intestine." For people I have to spend some time with: (above) + "It makes me feel...
Hey there! A mix of UC and gluten free is not as difficult as it seems once the flare-up is under control. First off, if tapering isn't working, I suggest Remicade. As soon as possible, if possible....
...when you're writing this post on your laptop in the bathroom....
Hey, I got diagnosed when I was 14. I feel for him. If you feel like sending him over here, maybe that would be helpful... But ask him via email or facebook. No offense, but asking him about it in...
The tests so far show that the harms of cigarette smoking do more of a toll on your body than the UC. Cons outweigh the pros in this situation. It's pretty much that if you already smoke, your...
Hey there! I had similar issues when I first got diagnosed. I let the UC get really bad before I was willing to go in to a doctor's office, so they had to blast it out of me pretty much. Okay, a few...
