Does anyone on this site have ulcerative colitis?

I have been DX'd for over a year now and things are getting bad. I do not know too many people with this disease. If you have it or know anyone who does, can you share with me your experience and knowledge on this.

A good friend of mine has had UC for a number of years.
He uses the restroom quite a bit and always has a few spare rolls of TP with him. He usually watches what he eats VERY closely...and when he doesn't he's in some pain for a good bit.

He's medicated and his is controlled for the most part.

I feel for you man...I've seen him in some rough shape due to it.

You do see a doctor right?

why do you guys have such negative reps? does this site hate people with UC?

Ha ha...nope. Both posters brought race into a topic (different topics) where race wasn't the focal point of the thread. When that happens, people get upset.

I hope for the best for both of you guys...

Not that one. Have relatives in the extended family with Crohn's and Diverticulitis. You have my empathy. Best wishes.

He's another rep closer to a clean slate. Only one more to go now.

My brother-in-law had Chrone's and even had 18" of his intestines removed. He found a nutritional supplement that really helped him a lot.

Email me if you want info.

I spent a month with a cousin a little over a year ago, helping her take care of business while the doctors gave her new medication for her UC. Last I heard, she is still OK.

Stay strong.

My brother had Chrones before anyone around here new what it was. I have two brothers and three sisters and all of them but me and one sister have it. The sister that doesn't have it eats like a bird ( lots of fresh vegies and fruits ). I watch what I eat and take supplements. If I fall off the wagon it catches up with me.
Some of my siblings children seem to be coming down with it as they move away from home. I'm guessing diet changes contribute.

 

[NoTrE_dAmE_BrAhH]

i would def agree with diet changes contribute. i think the years of hard diet for wrestling had something to do with me and my brother, (who also has it ).

Can't believe how many people have Crohns. When I was diagnosed with it 15 years ago, I had never heard of it before.

Not sure if they prescribe it for UC, but Remicade is an amazing drug for Crohns Disease. You get it at a clinic or doctor's office once ever 6 or 8 weeks through an IV drip. Wonder drug IMO. I recently started taking a new medicine similar to Remicade called Cimzia that you self inject once a month. Not too fun poking yourself with a needle in the stomach, but it gets pretty old spending 4 or 5 hours in a clinic every month and a half. Hopefully, the new medicine works as well as the Remicade, which made an unbelievable difference in my quality of life over the past 4 years.
