.I have Ulcerative Colitis...I had it in 2000..but it went into remission until I got Covid 12/19/2021..and then life changed ..I have been in a flare since then..things got really bad and I wound up getting hospitalized last week for four days. They were thinking that The Covid brought this on. I am a long hauler. This nasty disease controls me, I am unable to control this even with medication. Going to a new GI doctor tomorrow. I was told that I may have SIBO also. I wish they would treat me for SIBO and see if it helps. I was told to take Imodium..up to 4 times a day. The only way to make it through work is to take one before I leave the house for work and can barely make it home before symptoms restart. I hope we can all get some answers some day to help all of us.

I have 2 autoimmune issues and was just diagnosed with lymphocytic colitis. I am taking the 8 Imodium and have budesonide ready to go if it gets worse. UC and covid I can’t totally relate to. This is all such a mental challenge, trying to stay positive. I listen to an audio on YouTube specifically for GI issues, a hypnotherapy session.
Take this one moment at a time and try to do as many “normal” things as possible during the day.
Maybe try to find remote work?
