I got something like that like that, they say it’s UC but it can be chrons as well. My sympthoms will always stay active as long as they dont coem up with a cure. I wish the doctors could giev em a exact diagnos so I really could adapt to it. The last 5 years have been a long wait for me. God, ae you ever thinking of how your life would have been without the desease?

hang in, man. i first got diagnosed with UC at age 26, between age 29 and 43, i had no symptoms, so good luck to you. hope you get a nice long remission like that. now mine is back and it sucks. hope you’re doing well.

I’m 30 years old and have struggled with it UC for years. Four years ago I had j-pouch surgery and it’s been a miracle for me. When all options fail J-pouch surgery will give you your life back.

me in to do futher tests et etc and it turned out i had blood poisoning too. becasue of the lining being so inflammed. i was kept in for 3 weeks which was a bitch but they eventually sorted me out. i was close to having the surgery as well becasue i was getting so ill, not that i wanted it. ive recently got another flare up but thats my own fault because i was at a party the other day and got pretty drunk but i’m sure diet has a big impact on UC. anyway hope everything goes ok

I’ve had something for a while now like 5/6 years without anything being diagnosed… the doctors assumed i was alergic to something like wheat or dairy products. Anyway, eventually i was refered to a gastro bloke. I had to have a sigmoidoscopy and was diagnosed with UC. i was given certain drugs (asocol) that didnt do anything, then was given steroids. These gaves me crazy side effects where my muscles were in a lot of pain and i couldnt actually move. went to hospital again and they kept…

Just a question: how come you don’t want to take meds if they may speed up the relief process? Just curious, doing it the natural way could help to..no diet or prescription has been 100% proven to help (which sucks! cause the things some people take, may not work for others..)
a good thing to do is keep a diary of what foods you ate and what time. If you think you have UC then I’d stick with the BRAT diet for now (Bread, Rice, Applesauce, Toast) and drink water only. no juices

Hello, I think I may have UC. I have had IBS for 20 something years. I occasionally get a bad lower right pain that usually goes away within a week. Last month I got that pain again and it hasn’t gone away. Went to the ER, doctors, tests and nothing yet. Getting refered to a gastroenterologist. I see a colonoscopy in my future. I don’t want to take meds. I want to do things naturally. Do you have any suggestions on diet? I am trying to figure out what foods cause me pain and what doesn’t.

Same too you!
August 19th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
heyy youu, dont be so sad.
i was just diagnosed like 3 days ago with ulcerative colitis. yes.. it freaking sucks but at least we dont have something worse. I just thank God for the doctors knowlege and all the medication that can make us feel better. and our desease is curable.. not by man, but by God.
sometimes its sad when i cant eat the things that i want.. but then i just look around and look at the things that iam blessed with. just be positive :]

so just dont get stuck with prednisone and good luck
August 19th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
I dont have uc but my father does I think he has it very severly and has been taking predisone for years in the past 10 yrs predinsone has been less affective for him and he has go to the hospital and get an iv to get better. He has tried many herbs and supplements buts been pretty unsuccessful. But he is an extremely stuborn person and wont try other drugs or surgery.When he gets a flare up they increase his predinsone. That shit makes his drepressed and angry.

bout 2 straight days with full testing (blood work, IV’s on me, physical, made me crap in a bowl or w/e haha) fun stuff… then they told me to go home cause they couldn’t find anything wrong with me (this was in the beginning of the UC symptoms)..then it worsened…
August 19th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
yea i have uc too its very tough to live with and still is a pretty sensitive subjuect for me. i had to get a iv put in my forarm that went to my heart, atleast they put me on medication for that. how long were you in the hospital for?
August 19th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
i have UC too, i was diagnosed at 16, but was getting flare ups since i was about 11. so this has been on going for 10 years now. im one of the people that flare up often, ike you siad it depends on the person. I wish you all the best and i hope you dont let it get you down too much!!
August 19th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
all i remember my doctor saying is that i may have eaten something my body wasn’t used to, and it somehow didn’t recognize and my body basically attacked itself :/

Could be, definitely. Or maybe the other way around… maybe an overgrowth of yeast causes the immune system to act up. But then again, something had to have caused the yeast overgrowth I guess.

S3ne — I believe we could have the same view on uc after all!
I say the immune system makes our intestines act differently than on others. You say that our intestines react to yeast. So couldn’t it be that a messed up immune system is what causes us to react to the yeast whereas others don’t?! =)
Thanks for an interesting discussion!
Take care!
August 19th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
much appreciated from both of you :). Thanks for showing your point of view and your opinions on how to deal with this terrible illness..yes some doctors are real stupid and you wonder how they even passed medical school…but all in all..we all have experienced how it feels to have UC. I hope you all keep it in remission for many many many years to come..Like 50 more years would be good
August 19th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
Well around here a lot of the doctors are rednecks who seem like they went to med school in a barn… so they don’t really take the time to tell patients what they need to know, I guess. My dad is doing okay, but he’s stubborn, so even if a doctor did suggest changing his diet, I’m sure he probably wouldn’t. All the same, hope you’re doing okay with your condition (and everyone else on here).
August 19th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
I’m finding it extremely hard to believe, but Ok, there are some evil doctors after all =( Guess I just want to believe in people (doctors) and their will to do the best they can…
Not talking about sugar and diets with a diabetes patient is like telling people to jump from a bridge. A changed diet could even reverse the early stages of type 2 diabetes. Hope your father is doing ok.

Nutritioninstitute. Look that up and select Ulcerative Colitis. This explains what I’m talking about with the yeast. And by the way, this was written by an actual doctor, so I’m definitely not hatin’ on all docs.
August 19th, 2008 at 9:26 pm
2)…on the lining of the intestines rather than the intestines themselves. There’s a site I want to suggest that talks more about that, but I don’t think it’s letting me post it in my comment. Anyway, I absolutely agree with you that taking care of yourself in general is the most important thing. But sometimes even if you’re not stressed mentally on the surface, it doesn’t mean you’re not stressing the hell out of your body by eating junk and partying.

I didn’t say doctors are evil. I believe they really mean well, and yes, it’s more the medical companies than the doctors - but the medical companies fund the doctors. Maybe it’s just in my own experience, but doctors haven’t been that helpful to me or my condition - actually, they did more harm than good. And my father has diabetes and his doctor never once said anything about changing his diet.

I was told 11 years ago i had uc.Have been in and out of hospital over the years and on steroids all the time. Docs will not do surgery on me because i am over weight which is understandable. Recently i got changed consultant and my new consultant put me on a thing called infiximab. I am required to go into hospital once every 8 weeks for an infusion and i will tell u this it has worked wonders. i have been on it for the past year and it is the longest in 10 years that i have been in remision. u all should ask about it…..
