I was diagnosed w/ Ulcerative Colitis 8 years ago and coasted along well for some time.
During my 1st pregnancy I had a bad flare and since then I flare every 1 1/2 to 2 years. I take Lialda & Canasa regularly and prednisone during flares. This isn’t working well and I don’t want to take azathioprine or Remicade. I think I would rather have surgery.
What are other UC sufferers thoughts on surgery?

All of the posts from “Annonymous UC” are from ulcerative colitis people who anonymously submitted stories or Doctor Reviews, medication, supplement reviews etc… I post all these stories to the site, but they’re different from my own personal stories so hopefully this account makes more sense:) -Adam – founder of iHaveUC.com
