Hello everyone I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis after complaining with symptoms to my GP for years. I finally found out what it was. So I've just came here to learn more about the disease.

Hi and welcome, familiar story!! So many doctors misdiagnose IBD. I've had UC but now have Crohn's. So much to learn and come to terms with. Hope you find the answers and help you need.
