Do you or does someone in your life have ulcerative colitis (UC)?

If so, you probably know about...

• The struggle to manage symptoms
• The anxiety of making sure a bathroom is available at all times
• The embarrassment of avoiding social gatherings
• The exasperation with treatments that don’t seem to be helping

If you’ve had to deal with one or more of these, you’re not alone. The good news is that there are strategies that can make UC easier to manage.

In this activity, you’ll follow the lives of three UC patients, see how their lives are affected by the condition, hear a doctor’s perspective on each patient’s underlying challenges, and answer questions about your UC and how you manage it.
