I got Ulcerative Colitis one year after my first child was born. Lack of sleep, stress and a course of anti biotics were the triggers. What you've just said certainly resonates with me. My doctor noted that smokers don't tend to get UC. Ex smokers however, are even more likely to get UC than non smokers. I think that is something to do with how smokers user smoking and nicotine to handle stress in general.
