Introduction:
25 years old, ulcerative colitis, and I was diagnosed in January 2010. I’ve had MAJOR struggles this past year BUT i’m happy to say, that I FINALLY have good news!
My Ulcerative Colitis Experience:
So, I’m the girl who had tons of surgeries and procedures done within so many months. I was getting depressed and upset with everything that was happening to me and my body. I have other health issues that were also needing my attention, but have been put on the back burner due to my UC taking over my needs.
I have been using the Vitamin E “cure”, probiotics, and stress classes. I’ve taken out diary, alcohol, sodas, spices, greasy/fatty/fried foods from my diet. AND
“Lucy, your UC has gone from sever (attacking most of your colon) down to very mild (only attacking the rectum).” I started to burst into tears and he just told me whatever you are doing, keep doing it because it seems to be helping you out!
I am so happy that things have been turning around for me and I first want to thank Adam and all you for all your comments, stories, and information given on this site as well as facebook. I consider you guys family and always feel I have someone to rely on!

Hello fellow UC’ers! First off, I am soooo happy that I found this site! It’s been helping me alot with reading other people’s stories and how they are dealing with this horrible disease just like me on a day to day basis. I am 24 turning 25 in September and have been diagnosed since January 2010. I also have PCOS, PMDD, and HPV and I’m also anemic….not fun I know!
