Since this isn't the first time UC has come up on HN (are programmers more prevalent maybe?), may I ask for a quick show of hands of people that have UC or had UC and if you've managed to beat it then how? Me, I've had UC since 2012. I take Pentasa 2mg granulated mesalazine per day. I am an ex-smoker and internalize stress. My UC is definitely exacerbated by poor sleep and high stress. Antibiotics were also what started me off on this horrible disease. I'd love to get rid of it.
