Ulcerative Colitus -Your experience

[Thailand]

Had severe Ulcerative Colitis a few years ago that at it's height required visits to the toilet some 30-40 times a day completely changed my life and cost me my business overseas which was part of my retirement planning.

Fortunately the treatment and change in lifestyle and eating habits finally saw me in to remission after a couple of years but still there although always the worry it will return.

Still have the feeling 24/7 that I "need to go" but that is something I live with!  Creams to soothe, bum squirters, and alcohol free baby wipes are still the order of the day.

Due for another colonoscopy next year as the risk of colon cancer is increased with UC. 

 

Rarely come across people here who have had/ or are suffering from severe UC , but then not exactly  a conversation starter

 

Any other sufferers out there?
