I created this site to tell everyone about my journey while being diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. As you read, you
will learn about this chronic illness and how it affects people just like me.
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic (ongoing) disease of the colon, or large intestine. The disease is marked by inflammation
and ulceration of the colon mucosa, or innermost lining. Tiny open sores, or ulcers, form on the surface of the lining, where
they bleed and produce pus and mucus. Because the inflammation makes the colon empty frequently, symptoms typically include
diarrhea (sometimes bloody) and often crampy abdominal pain.
