Nicotine Therapy For Ulcerative Colitis

Hi all, advice and experience needed….

Been doing a lot of internet research, familiar story eh? And came across something that my GI mentioned ages ago. Nicotine has a positive influence on UC. I have read all the advantages and disadvantages but I am willing to and have tries just about everything!

What I am seeking is anyone, positive or negative who has actually tried nicotine patches, I’m not willing to start lighting up just yet!!!

Thanks all,

Katherine, UK
