First of all I'd like to say hello to anyone who reads this! Welcome to my first post on my first blog!
Blogging isn't something I thought I'd find myself doing, perhaps because the internet seems to have so much information in so many places by so many people. Literally billions of pages of text of which I'm sure most aren't read!
However, when a blog contains information that might just benefit someone's health, I think it becomes a lot more important. In reference to Colitis, I know how much I've searched around for ideas, info, symptoms, diets, food types, research papers, meds etc. etc. Suddenly the world wide web reveals just what an amazing innovation it is!!
To think that when I was first diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (the mid 90's), there was hardly anywhere to find information on it and even though I'd never heard of Colitis, I don't think the specialist even gave me a pamphlet to look at!! You have to laugh!
So the reason I've decided to start this blog is partly because Colitis is so individual that I believe there IS room for yet another blog and partly because it may be a useful record to look back on with reference to the UCer website.
You could read 50 blogs by UCers and their diet, meds, symptoms won't match your own. So, I'm hoping this blog might give someone with IBD an idea they hadn't thought of or the incentive to try something new in the fight for remission. This then, is a good enough reason to add more text to the world wide web!! :-D
