Hi Ashley I have ulcerative colitis too … I’ll start to use Remicade this month I don’t know what will happen… how are you now ? I hope you are fine

Hey I just got diagnosed with UC when I got my scopy it looked really inflamed and so many ulcers. I was in the hospital for 3 weeks and never felt more terrible. I lost 15lbs! And look so sickly so when I came home I was overwhelmed and broke down about how different I look, I wanted to break up with my fiance because I felt guilty for him to be with a person with this disease and he wouldn’t let me go. Right now I’m on prednisone and my flares are mild but I find night time really hard to sleep as I have a lot of back pain and mild cramping. I’m scared about the future and I’m scared that I’ll never feel normal again. This is all new to me and some of the comments have just stressed me out even more. My aunt has it and my uncle has it and they said it doesn’t bother them at all, they have been in remission for years and my aunt gets infusions every 2 months for it

Hey. Can you please share your diet plan

Loved this video. So relatable.🩷

Hey Ashlee, Thank you for sharing your journey & insights. I've just been diagnosed & here i am on youtube trying to find some insightful videos. So thank you :)

Hello Ashlee I live in Manchester UK, and I have had Ulcerative Colitis since 2008. Every morning I awake to feel such dread to sit on the toilet because of painful bowel motions. 2 things have helped me: sitting in a bowl of warm water with Epsom Salts, and the other using a Microwavable Heat Pad to sit on. I am 65, 66 in March. Your video was nice. Thanks Kevin😀.

Hi ,I am also suffering from it from last 7 month just want to know how is your health now and which medicine u are taking currently ?

So basically ,you conceived immediately after lap ?

Hope you and your family are fine you are really inspire me ❤ i saw your videos after 4 year's i wish to see a new one

Hi Ashlee, hows your uc at the moment looking forward to hear from you thank you söö much

Are you suffering from ulcerative colitis and need some advice?

Where have you been?

Its all about diet and discipline

Thank hou for sharing your experience with us 💐

Is it just my computer or is there no sound with the speech part of the audio--the music at the start blew my ear drums out and then...I could barely hear you talking. And I so, so, so wanted to hear everything you had to say. Oh dear. :(

Thankyou for this post! my 7 year old was diagnosed with pancolitis last year when she was in year 1. We still haven’t found a medication that works well, she has had steroids on and off.. tried mesalazine, tacrolimus and now trying Vedolizumab this week with hesitation. All the best with your remission 😊

I also have UC I got diagnosed in march (the sypthoms started in january). I'm on a liquid diet and som meds and that seems to work for me; I'm not saying it will work for every one. I'm hoping to start solids again next week becuse I'm almost symptom free. My goal is to be able to eat some christmas dinner :).

My gf is in remission now after 8years. She's been taking Livespo colon recently, a liquid form probiotic for IBD. It took her 4days and symptoms all gone, highly chances are 'cause it's liquid so it effects much better. Product is often out of stock tho, last time I had to order it all the way from Vietnam.

Thank you for sharing!! I had a laparascopy/cystectomy for endometriosis and honestly the worse pain was probably that same shoulder pain you got. So much of what you said I can relate to and brings back memories (especially the awkward hunch because you can't straighten without stretching your stitches painfully). Hopefully you're all good after you've recovered! Pre-surgery I hadn't been able to drink milk (made me sick every time), but I discovered that after my surgery I magically could drink milk again and I've been drinking full cream ever since (had my surgery May last year). So hopefully you have better luck with your gut issues now as well. Best of luck!!

Thank you so much, your life is pretty much mine, I was told at 17 I had UC I was in hospital in Nov last year they told me that if I had of come in 1 day later I would of been having an op. I'm the same hate needles, now have to self inject every 2 weeks for my medication I also have a 4yr old son and a single mum. I have now had UC for 17 yrs. so thank you for sharing this

such a huge insight to the disease and your doing great coping with it. thats amazing that you are symptom free for the first time in such a long time

beautiful home

its so great you are sharing your journey. i would of done the surgery too.

Thank you for sharing your journey and i hope it gives you light at the end of the tunnel. The scares will disappear over time and it will all be worth the pain. You are blessed that you have a bub and i hope that you get bub number two. I had an emergency laparoscopy with a ruptured ovarian cyst, where they found out i had stage two endometriosis. I was also 6 and a half weeks pregnant and it caused a miscarriage. Though i have since then gone on to have two babies.

Good luck with this journey! Unless they've been in that want stage, where you want another child, people don't get it. I've had a few friends go through IVF. If it helps, if you're in QLD and it comes to it (fingers crossed laprascopy goes well though!) Monash offer concession pricing on IVF and in Brisbane and Gold Coast there is a Bulk Bill-Minimal Gap IVF Clinics❤

Our first however took us 3 years with 2 mcs x

One of the reasons the OB said I probably got pregnant so quick with baby #2 is that I got pregnant with our first a few months after my laprascopy and then I only had a few cycles after he was born before ttc again so my endo didnt have a bit amount of time to grow again. They always told me the longer I waited between surgeries the harder it'd be because my endo is mostly in my cervix x

I had a laprascopy April 2017 and they burnt a hole in my bladder trying to stop the bleeding. Needed a second surgery 24hrs later and now have permanent bladder issues and took me months to walk properly again. We had the laprascopy to investigate my tubes and also my endo for my fertility issues and pain. After my surgery though we had monthly progesterone blood tests to see if my levels were reaching good enough heights for a successful ovulation and I fell pregnant a few cycles after that surgery. March 2018 we had our rainbow baby after 2 mcs and 3years of trying . I'm now 23 weeks pregnant with our second. I used to be hospitalised for all my periods and was for my first cycle after the surgery but my periods after hunter was born was nothing like pre baby thankfully! They unfortunately could not dilate me enough to check my tubes during surgery so unsure if they were any good but my endo is mainly in my cervix. My belly button has never gone back to normal after that surgery haha. My scar Down the bottom from them fixing my bladder was so bad they had to fix it with my c section. Fingers crossed chlomid works! The month we fell pregnant with hunter was the last one before we were due to travel interstate for ivf ❤️ On the topic of gut issues I have ibs and my brother has crohns. I've passed for not having crohns but I definitely have a lot of intolerances Fingers crossed you can fall pregnant soon ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is so so relatable. I have UC as well.

❤️❤️❤️

Voice volume very low

Awesome video

Good channel.....short, sweet, and to the point. Best wishes for next pregnancy.

My boyfriend has UC! I cook for mostly me and him, I just bought several cookbooks (low FODMAP, gluten free, etc) but I’m wondering what you think is best as far as diets for UC?!

You’re the biggest inspiration girl. You’re doing great. Love you 💕💕

Great Video Ashlee. ❤️
