About

So here is the deal, my name is Adam.   I have ulcerative colitis.  My grandpa had some type of colon problems, same deal with my uncle who had Crohn’s Disease.

I started this site back in January 2010 with the hopes of making some people who are like me a bit happier to be here in this world.  I don’t think I am a rare case by any means, but rather an example of a UC patient who has struggled to get better, and with the help of others, found a way to get better and medication free.

As the months have gone on, this site has become a popular place for others besides me to share their story, and most importantly to get feedback from other UC people.  Probably people just like you.   Often, its  hard to talk about UC with others who don’t have the disease.  Who likes talking about their poops and craps all day long anyways(Well, I guess I kinda do…)

This is a place to share your story, get feedback from others, and hopefully to feel normal once again.

I’m in my early 30′s and I’ve lived in Santa Barbara, Boulder,Prague,Geneva, and now live in California again, and someday hope to have kids.  My wife married me right before I was diagnosed with UC, and she stuck by my side even during my most horrible UC days in 2008-2009.  She’s also has been there in 2009 when I found my way and become medication free, all due to the Specific Carb Diet by Elaine G. Yeah, the diet has changed my life, for example, I don’t drink alcohol anymore(minus at Joes wedding in Vegas which brought me into a mini flare) but it has been way worth it.  If my future kids someday have UC, I surely will be teaching them the diet as well.

My absolute favorite thing about this site is posting up new stories from others who write in about their struggles, triumphs, or other drug related, work related, family related ulcerative colitis stories.  So, if you want to write a post( similar or different from one that is already on the site, there are over 800 now) feel free to do so HERE.

Some people wonder what it is I will do if my current UC remission gets out of wack and starts flaring up.  Well, if that happens, I think I will take Paul’s idea of ingesting Ionic Silver Water for a while to see if that puts things back in place.  But, my gut feeling is, as long as I stay on the diet, things might just work out as I’m hoping.

Enjoy the site, and have a great day, and don’t forget to write your story, you too might be able to help some other UC’ers feel better!

And just so you know, this site is mostly about others, not me, although there is a crap load of stuff that is about me and my struggle to overcome UC symptoms.  If you want to read more about me through the stories I’ve submitted so far, you can here Adam’s Stories.
