I think I’ve mentioned it before, so here’s one more time:  I have UC. Also, I love eating hamburgers.  My favorite hamburger joint is called FatBurger.  It’s a relatively small burger chain, many in the California/Nevada areas, and many other spots too.  To me, they are my favorite burgers money can buy. Yes indeed, I [...]

When I see blood in my poop, that for me means ulcerative colitis.  And like most good things, the 8 months of pretty much symptom free living has finally come to a close.  Good old colitis man seems to have found a way to make it back into the old colon. But, before I go [...]

I turned 21 in August 2003. I was still in remission at that point. I always had my colitis in the back of my mind after I thought it was gone but didn’t really think about it all of the time. December 2003 came. I remember going to the bathroom one night and seeing blood in [...]

Many people find themselves wondering what they can and can’t eat with UC. Or better yet, what is good and what is bad for their ulcerative colitis. So, the hope is this posting will give you an idea with good old High Fructose Corn Syrup and your UC. One thing is for sure, high fructose [...]

Back in 2007 I was in the middle of roller coaster rides of flare ups followed by brief periods where things were going ok. I had recently been diagnosed with osteoperosis – softening of the bones. Osteoperosis is associated with ulcerative colitis among other things probably due to mal-absorption of minerals along with treatment with [...]

When are you having a flare? Here is a video with me speaking the text from below, feel free to watch it or read the full story underneath. That’s a difficult question right? Well, maybe not really. If you are taking 1-2 craps/day and then all of a sudden move towards 4-10, I think most [...]

 Do you have joint pains and colitis? I sure had that.  It’s been about six months now since it was really bad, but when those joint pains started, you’re not sure what to do.   If you are having joint pains with your colitis, you are definitely not the only one.  There are tons of us [...]

Here is a video that talks about how you are really the one in control of your colitis. It is rated PG-13, not for less than teen agers. Having gone to hell and now back at a normal life, I understand how horrible the journey can be. It is definitely one of those experiences that [...]

How do you know if your Colitis is Severe? When do you join the Severe Club? How is any doctor to say you have mild colitis if you feel like hell all day?  Are you thinking about finding another toilet constantly?  How can a colonoscopy determine you have only medium colitis if you are not [...]

This is my second favorite, and second most common breakfast. Bacon and eggs, and coffee with honey. Pretty simple and fits the diet well.  I used to eat pancakes with syrup like my wife is doing here, but not anymore as the new diet doesn’t allow for that.  Although if anyone is having great success [...]
