So I'm 26 and I was diagnosed with colitis when I was 17! What a young, tender age to be diagnosed with such an embarrassing disease, right?
I saw you're planning on doing the Ben Nevis climb, that is so awesome! I would love to do it, I'm trying to buy a house here in Colorado, so maybe by a stroke of sheer luck it might work for me to fly over.
Thanks for your comment :) Erin
The biggest change is that I basically have to poo all day long. Before a flare of UC/when I was in remission, I pooed once a day. Now I poo between 6 and 10 times a day, based on what I eat and how much water I drink. That is the hardest thing for me, as finding a bathroom can be problematic (I don't really like going to places I'm unfamiliar with because of that), as well as the fact that my bum is pretty much always sore (I've found things to help with that too). There are some foods that go through me faster than others... tomato sauce containing foods, indian and asian foods, etc. But then there's some that really thicken things up. Everyone is totally different. I can't eat corn... that is the one thing that REALLY hurts my tummy.
I went for a run on Wednesday --- 5 MILES! That's the longest I've run since I got sick last year. And I've learned working out in the morning is much better than the afternoon, as I can run a longer period of time without feeling that "get to the bathroom NOW" feeling.
I often have diarrhea, as the colon removes water from the stool, and the small intestine doesn't. I'm in a constant quandary trying to figure out how to "thicken" things up better, but I mostly don't worry about it, as I drink a lot of water. People can get pouchitis with the j-pouch (most do), but it's nowhere near a colitis/crohn's flare, and there's good treatment for that. I LOVE MY POUCH!
If you have other questions, PLEASE don't hesitate to ask away. Also, Steve has tons of advice regarding reversals and what's good for you and what's not, so he's a good person to ask advice to as well.
Hope you're well :)

Go into settings, and on that page is you personal settings i.e email address, change your password, full name and then profile photo, click on the wee camera logo and a wee box pops out, with the option to upload an image from your computor, click the we cirlce till it's blue and THEN hit the browse button, lol. find the photo you wish and then click open, which will send the file to the wee box that the camera logo opened, and then hit done.
The wee camera box should disappear, AND THEN SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE AND SAVE THE SETTING.x
That should do the trick.
