Help Me Out with My Colitis

Introduction:

MY name is Amelia, Mia for short.  I have had UC for 4 years now! I don’t know what to do. I Work full time and have a 3 year old son, I’m Married and need some help with this UC!!!!!!!!

My Ulcerative Colitis Experience:

I’m 20 years old and had ulcerative colitis a couple months before I had my son in 2008.  I work full time and I’m married.  I don’t have a support group. I’m actually having my grandmother buy scd books for me!!! I have terrible bathroom problems, i go on a really bad day at least close to 20 times.  Night time is the Worst.
It seems like I can’t eat anything at all.

I believe I’m lactose intolerant which

sucks because I love diary products.

It’s sooo bad all the time everybody at works knows about my problem and sometimes I have to leave work cause I didn’t make it, I work at a gas station so it is really hard to use the bathroom when you have other people using it and to clean up after them. It just embarrassing!

I cant go on trips, can’t go to a friends house without using their bathroom, can’t go out and eat, Just can’t do anything! I keep telling myself that I can get health But I Cant.

I love Caffeine I love Junk food!!!

I know my husband is getting tired of it. Sometimes I can’t even have (sorry) sex my stomach always hurts and every time I lay down I get right back up and run to the toilet. GRRRR. I want to become a CNA, that’s hard when you can’t even take care of your self! I looked into everything and how Scd Diet is going to help. I’M TIRED OF CRAPPING MY SELF!! I want to be healthy I really do!!! It’s just so hard for me! I just need some support in this i really don’t have anybody besides my husband and grandma that just doesn’t seem to be enough! Maybe YOU can help me? Just maybe!

Colitis Medications:

I’ve tried sulfasalazine some type of cholesterol powder crap! And pred. that worked the best
