I’d like to meet others with ulcerative colitis

My son was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis 3 years ago and he remains in a flare. He has been on all the known medications, has tried different diets, and he continues to suffer. He has lost about 30 lbs (he was already slim) and he is always exhausted. Are there any UC patients, or parents of adult children with UC, in NYC on this board?

I am so sorry to hear about your son's suffering from ulcerative colitis. I was diagnosed with it about 30 years ago and have been on medications since then. I am not located in NYC, so I can't recommend any doctors there. I wish I had an answer to help your son, as I am looking for a successful treatment myself. What does his doctor have to say? I know this must be very hard for you to see your son suffering.
