My gi doctor claimed I had inflammation in my colon but after a colonoscopy because my stools or bowel movements don’t come out fast for example, everyone should take out less than 10 minutes for the all the stools to come from the colon and for me I takes me 3 to 5 hours in the bathroom on the toilet, not sure if this is related to UC and I haven’t had diarrhea or that symptom that causes to go many times to the bathroom and I do bleed but no sooo much I just think it’s from my hemorrhoids and fissures because I do feel like a burn from hemorrhoids in the area and not so sure if it was a flare up but I had a big belly ache that did force me to go to the bathroom and I popped blood and after I went to the doctor it was anemia and I had that stomach pain again but after I ate the pill that issue stopped and didn’t happen again but not sure if that was a flare up or related to the inflammation, early this year the doctor gaved me mesalamine that treats UC and the doctor claimed in a few weeks my bowel moments would be back to normal but it didn’t do that and medication haven’t improved anything I’m just the same

ty for sharing your journey I have been flaring for almost 3 years straight I've been in the hospital for 2 weeks now I'm having such a hard time and I will be wanting to make a video about my own journey once I get to remission

If you aren’t having an active flare up will they still see something on the colonoscopy?

Do all with ulcerative colotis get bleeding

Your story is so helpful! Thank you for sharing this.

What biologic are you on?

I bled badly, got told it was Haemorrhoids, had a Haemorrhoidectomy and it's not as bad as it was, but STILL I have bleeding and it's dark

So right about getting more advice and not been flopped off with a stomach bug and pushing for the colonoscopy the whole video makes sense hope you changed your doctor

If you want get rid of desserts ,sugar foods ,industrial or process foods ,carbonhidyrate foods ,Milk and Milk base and industry Milk products (you can eat home yoğurt and ayran) and jf you eat natural vegetables and fruits also natural meat and chicken you Will probablly your symptouns less severe (And you Will wipe out all chemilas (parfums,skin care products and other every chemicals ) and you perform this diet very strictly you can leave out this horrifiying sickness .This is my experience Bye 🎉

I have UC and was also told (without any physical examination) that the blood was hemaroids. I was also told that my diahorhea was "normal bowel variation". Even told to see a psychiatrist because my symptoms were "psychosomatic". The only reason I got diagnosed was because I have an auto-immune liver disease (PSC) and they did a routine colonoscopy because UC and PSC are often comorbid. I was also unnecessarily tested for pregnancy every single time I went to the hospital, even AFTER I had a hysterectomy.

Oh my god, I can not believe it took you that long to get a diagnosis. I just got diagnosed with UC, so here I am looking on youtube to see what other people have dealt with & how their managing, so thank you for sharing your story. I say i can't believe it, but i also had alot of GP's dismiss my symptons too, even my current specialist.

Thank you for sharing this very personal video. Your story has so much in common with mine. The "Oh, it's probably just hemorrhoids." I had to show a doctor pictures of my bowel movements to be taken seriously. It's not normal to pass blood and clots and bile every 20 min (on a good day) and be bent over in pain. Hemorrhoids don't be that way...

I was diverted for a long time until i was hospitalized and they gave me a colonoscopy to let me know i had UC. Its been a long journey, as with everyone with the predisposition of IBD. I find its about your strategy, and what youre tolerant of, while also benefiting the micro biome with specific foods/drinks. Finding your intolerances, avoiding them, and being as clean an eater as you can be. Wish i had all the answers. 14 years from diagnosis, and still learning, and adapting.

God bless you and your family!❤

Has your Colitis flared with the pregnancy?

Thank you for sharing your journey, I know it's not easy. Every sentence of my story would be too embarrassing for KZbin, I have a channel, 0 uploads & could never find the courage. Can I ask you if you'd believe a UC diagnosis confirmed by 2 colonoscopy's so far if you never had any pain or cramping? I have experienced everything else you've discussed without ER visits.

Im struggling to get my son a diagnosis, hes 5 amd I'm from the UK. Hes had Diarrhoea for nearly 5 months now, not bloody but mucusy. His feacal sample showed significant inflammation of his bowels and his bloods have come back that hes anemic. What i wanted to know is how long did it take for your GI symptoms to start showing up blood? Thats the only thing that hes missing symptom wise.

I from UK I've got uc I traced my foods back 20 years I found my food problem it was veg fats such as rapeseed (canola) palm oil most of all veg oils I went back to animal fats butter lard beef dripping and Im getting back to normal now all Modern foods has veg fats that cause inflammation of the bowel and colon

Thank you for posting this 3 years ago. I’m waiting on appt after many years of symptoms. This was helpful

came here for UC! fascinated by the private jet xD sending love <3

Wow, I am a retired RN, I've had problems for 10 years at least, I also have other auto immune diseases. I live in Spokane and I too have trouble getting my Doc to listen to me. I have had diarrhea for a month now and passing bloody mucous for 2 weeks, horrible cramps and awful smelly flatulence. I've seen two docs now, one at Holy Family and my GP. There is also a family history of colin CA in my family. Your story sound just like what I am going through. My clothes are baggy and eating is losing it's appeal, I have to force myself to drink water even. I've gotten the whole old people always worry about their poops to it is a virus and it will pass. Thank you for your encouraging words of wisdom, this week I think I will camp out at my docs office till I get what I want. Do you still live in Spokane ? Who was your doctor and do you recommend him/her ?

I JUST FOUND YOU. I AM 73 AND JUST FOUND OUT I HAVE LYMPATHITUC COLITIS. I HAD A COLONOSCOPY AND A POLOP REMOVED AGAIN, BUT FOR THE LIFE OF ME I NEVER REMEMBER THE DR. TELLING ME I HAD COLITIS, JUST THE POLOP. THE COLONOSCOPY WAS OVER 2 YRS. AGO NOW. I HAD BEEN SEEING MY PRIMARY WHO SAID I HAD IBS, BUT IT JUST DIDN'T GEL WITH MY SYMPTOMS. THE GASTRO DR. IS HAVING A ULTRA SOUND OF MY STOMACH NOW IN 2 WEEKS.. I HAVE PAIN IN MY UPPER STOMACH AREA AND RIGHT UNDER MY LEFT BREAST. I GET ALL OTHER KINDS OF PAIN. IT HAS BEEN A MONTH SINCE MY LAST FLARE, BUT I WATCH WHAT I EAT, AND BY THAT I EAT SMALL AMOUNTS AND THE MINUTE I REALIZE PAIN IS STARTING RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE AT THE WAIST.. I DON'T HAVE BLOOD THAT I KNOW OF. MY POOH IS A TINTED GREEN COLOR FOR A MONTH NOW. SOMETIMES IT IS VERY DARK.....BUT I DON'T THINK BLOOD? I HAD A BOUT OF THROWING UP REALLY BAD AND FOR HOURS ON MY LAST FLARE. ON ALL THIS I HAVE NOT EATEN GOOD,, NO GREENS, SO WONDER WHERE THE GREEN IS FROM...WHEN I WAS THROWING UP AND AFTER A FEW HOURS THEN IT GOT VERY DARK AND I AM IN A QUANDRY. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY, AND I HOPE TO HEAR MORE FROM YOU.

i had been to the doctor and er multiple times over the years for flares and they would tell me i was just anxious. a doctor even tried to give me anti psychotics for stomach problems. im having many of the issues you described. im 20 and im still having all these problems intermittently. it’s causing me to miss a lot of work. and i feel like people don’t understand. i got a primary doctor and she gave me some medicine - dicyclomine - it kinda helps but not 100%. i have my first appointment with the gastroenterologist tomorrow and im scared but hopefully i will get some answers.

Thank you for doing this video and sharing your journey😊 I got diagnosed with ulcerative colitis on Friday but I'm still very much in the dark about the disease apart from what I've read up about! I'm currently waiting on my doctor to contact me to tell me where I go from here and what to do next! I've got so many questions but know one to answer them at the moment! Videos like yours are so helpful and make me feel like I'm not alone!

Im here from your UC vid, Congratulations!!!!🎉

Thank you for sharing your story. I just found out I have UC. The first doctor I went to prescribed me merilax and sent me on my way. After sharing had blood and mucus leaking out. I was flabbergasted! I immediately made an appt with a different doctor and luckily he took it so serious! He ran my blood right there for anemia and scheduled me a CT and colonoscopy. I’m sorry it took you a longer time to find someone to take you serious. I feel like as women we are always written off

Any surgeries??

Diagnosed last year with left sided ulcerative colitis. I hope everyone is well.

💗💗👑👑

Congrats on that trip! It seems that your UC is under control. Do you mind sharing the treatment you are in? Do you ever get anemic now? Thank you

Cape Fox Lodge!

I’m having the same problem I had my gallbladder removed two years ago I really don’t know if that have something to do with the problem I been having I just can’t stop going to the restroom after I eat and I only see blood sometimes but my right side of my stomach and back hurts 🤦🏾‍♀️

My son was diagnosed 2 years ago at age 14. We have been seeing gastro for meds, but currently going through testing with a Functional Medicine doctor. So far, he has SIBO, Candida overgrowth, and is deficient in all B vitamins and most amino acids. He also has an MTHFR homozygous mutation. I’m hoping some of this leads to a root cause and possible cure or at least long term remission without drugs. I really believe it was all set into motion by frequent antibiotic use throughout his childhood.

Looks like a good time and a fantastic adventure ;) Nice upload!

Lady, you are an inspiration, bless you!

Sweet family and great send off. I did 35 at AA, got bored in retirement and am doing corporate. It just is a life style

20 year old male. Just been diagnosed this morning. Can't sleep and I'm worried so I searched for this video

He will visit soon

Wow 38 years

Just was recommended your channel . Haha no idea why. I watched and now I wish you had more videos . So get on it! 😝 hope your newish job is going great!

You are a doppelganger to Peter Graves. How appropriate since he was in the movie "Airplane".

You have a picture of Burton Cummings on your shirt. Now that's cool!

I have UC myself, and it frustrates me to see how many of us with IBD’s have had our symptoms dismissed so much by healthcare professionals. This is exactly why we need so much more awareness- when I first went to the doctors they just told me I had low iron and gave me iron meds and they thought that would stop the symptoms, I felt so defeated because it took so long to get people to listen to me especially because I was only 13 when I started having symptoms. Thankyou so much for speaking up!!

First day of retirement: Dad turns on PC and launches Microsoft Flight Simulator ;-)

Hey I am super embarrassed about having to poop in public or at someone's house, I know I shouldn't care but I sadly do do you have any advice or anything that might have helped you? I was recently diagnosed with IBS which I know is not the same but any advice would be appreicated

Congratulations..🍾

Hello Sarah! Here’s a little something for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/an7WoZ-rr66joLc

I've always thought of Alaska Airlines as a soul brother. They came out of nowhere, have a rich, storied past, always trend setters. Not unlike us Texas boys and girls at Southwest. I'd give anything to have a domicile in Anchorage. No state tax, you can park yourself somewhere with no property tax, and send your 10 year old to the trading post to pick up a 50 caliber bear gun for you and no one would raise an eyebrow.

Flight 69, what an absolute legend

Congrats Cap! I’m just a few years behind you👍🏻
