This survey’s results I have decided to post a bit different than usual. It actually is much much faster for me to simply create PDF files of the data which you can easily view via the link below. (Please let me now via comments if this is better for you in terms of reading the results form the questions that were asked.)

Here are some of the pictures of the participants!!! (Pretty awesome looking UC’ers once again!!!:))
Have a great week and maybe some of the thinking from the participants in the survey will give you some insight into what other UC’ers are up to in terms of their coffee drinking(or not drinking) habits.
Wishing you all the best, whether you’re drinking coffee this week or not:)

I started site  shortly after being diagnosed in October of 2008 with severe pancolitis (when my whole colon was inflamed).
For me, it was a very rough start with severe symptoms. Getting bounced from medication to medication was not easy or too helpful. But, I did meet another UC’er, changes several parts of my diet, and of course the rest is history.

Hello Adam,
I am not replying to your coffee debate but have recently found your site and would like to know how I can talk to some of your members? I noticed Bev had a few interesting comments.
Unfortunately I have UC and have had around 8 years or more. I am struggling with it every time I flare up and wondered about why it is less prevalent in under developed countries. I live in the UK. Thanks Sally
Hi Sally,
Thanks for joining the site, and my suggestion to you would be to write comments on stories that you are interested in or have questions for the authors or other commenters. All the authors of each story are automatically subscribed to “their” stories so they will get notified when there is a new comment. Sound good?
