I’d like to meet others with ulcerative colitis

Welcome @ritabtripp, I thought I would reply to your post here so that you can meet other members discussing ulcerative colitis and might be able to respond to your question on stem cell treatment for UC.
Stem cell treatment for UC may hold some promise but I would shy away from any stem cell treatment centers if it's not part of a major teaching hospital or health facility like Mayo Clinic.
Do you mind sharing more about the location you are considering for the stem cell treatment?

A friend took her daughter who has Chrohn's to the Caymen Islands to Dr. Cona at the DVC. I was able to google it and find some info, but wondered if anyone else had used stem cell transplant to treat their UC. I know it hasn't been approved in the US yet, or at least that is my understanding. Her daughter ended up spiking a fever, but ended up okay, but still too early to tell if it will help.
