  • Coping with Colitis
    Nearly three out of four ulcerative colitis (UC) sufferers (73 percent) responding to a new nationwide survey say not feeling well has become a normal part of life. Furthermore, they describe UC as disruptive when it comes to their relationship with a spouse (64 percent), their sexual relations (75 percent) and their emotional state (82 percent).
    How do you cope with colitis ? Are you struggling with the emotional effects ? Even if a problem shared isn't a problem halved it may help to discuss it with people in the same situation.

    Christmas can be difficult if you suffer from colitis - everything from the over-rich food, alcohol - and of course feeling unwell when everyone else is celebrating. Feel free to discuss this here.
