As you have hopefully gathered, I did a lot of research about Ulcerative Colitis when I was in the hospital (I had nothing but time) and I came to the realisation that recovery was going to be about so much more than just taking the medication at the right time and not eating certain foods. I realised that I needed to look at this more holistically and there were likely to be a number of different elements that I needed to work on in order to get “better”. Interestingly in the USA from what I can work out there seems to be less reliance on medication and more emphasis on the holistic element of looking after the whole body.
To this end I decided to contact a number of different people and employ a number of different strategies to get my body functioning as well as it could do. In the next few posts I will talk about the different people that I have been working with as well as the different strategies that I have used in order to try and get on top of Ulcerative Colitis and “win” the battle as it were.
If you are in Norwich and looking for people to help then I recommend the people I worked with as they have all been amazing!
I think you’re right that ulcerative colitis needs a broad approach and is about more than taking some drugs and then expecting things to improve. Thank you for emphasising this. Well done x
