  • I started to have problems after a bug from a holiday in Turkey.After 5 years of pain and trips to the hospital trying one drug to another i was finally told i had Ulcerative colitis.This is a nightmare. i

    had an iliostomy in 1999 and have just had my rectal stump removed. still healing but on the mend NEVER GIVE UP NO MATTER WHAT!good luck to everyone thats got it email me for help or questions or worries

  • Good luck with your fight!

    take care

  • anyway my point is that would the doctors let me (and everyone else who has U.C) suffer for months, years even a lifetime if changing your diet could cure you?

    Sorry if I came across as a little arrogant

    peace out

  • The thing about all of the drugs and diet control is that even when they do work it dosen't cure U.C. The drugs poison your immune system, and the controlled dietjust removes things that are hard to digest, or cause problems under normal circumstances. i Understand that it can have different levels of severity, for some its a minor convience, for others one huge struggle.

  • I guess i did sound a little harsh there. when I had U.C it was so bad that my bowel had perforated, I had to have an emergency colectomy. I was about 4 hours away from death. I don't mean to sound too grave but once you have U.C you've got it for life, some are lucky and go into remission, some like me are not.

  • Just because you have the disease does not necessarily make you an expert on the condition. Take on this new information with an open mind. I am no expert and I admit that. I hope you respect my advice.

  • Whats up with the attitude? This sufferer is obviously expressing her opinion and I respect that. With an ignorant attitude like yours it is no wonder you are finding it hard to beat this disease. Take in suggestions and don't complain.

  • bpholmes your are ignorant and be quiet, I have the disease, it is not controlled by diet

  • sorry to hear that

  • Shut up, you obviously know nothing about UC. Its not an allergy. And the guy is clearly fighting
