My vent - I would like to get up in the morning and feel full of energy to run after my kids, or go to work without feeling exhausted and nauseous. I'd like to eat what I want, and actually be hungry for it! I am sick and tired of being in a flare. I wish that others understood better what it...

I'm glad to hear that you've put on some weight. I am really sensitive to medicines too. I think being sensitive goes along with having IBD. I hear you about the worrying. I often wish that I could be "normal" and healthy and not have all of the constant worries about my health.

I'm so happy to hear that you went to the doctor. At least it puts your mind to rest about those things. After your colonoscopy, you should know right away if it's ulcerative colitis. I have had accidents before too when I had a really bad flare. It's like you can't control how fast...

We have that at our house too!

Hi, I'm new here. I have had UC for about 15-20 years. I have flares off and on, and am in the middle of a pretty bad flare. It's going on the 7th week. I have been passing blood and going to the bathroom about 5-6 times a day. I just started Canasa, and am also seeing an acupuncturist for...
