My Ulcerative Colitis

I love my coffee.  I used to hate my ulcerative colitis, before acceptance came slowly along - no other choice really.  I am told that the two of them don’t really go well together, but I still love my coffee.  Doctors since the beginning has told me that no food has any effect on UC - well any of us who have suffered knows that this does not ring true.  I concur on the opinion that it did not start my ulcerative colitis, (sometimes, depends on my mood), however the same doctors happily tell me that the coffee is not good for my condition!

Is it just too much of a mine field for them?  Do they just not want to open the door that may lead somewhere they are not in control?  I am not so sure.  I was allergic to the first medication they prescribed me, it made me really sick and took about nine months of them saying it would get better and it was just the UC - it actually only took two weeks of me just not taking the stuff any more to get better - well better than I was.

But back to my coffee.  I have it every morning first thing.  It empties my system - instead of running to the toilet several times in the morning the coffee does the job in one fell swoop.  Now for someone who was always running to the toilet and often doing nothing or little once I sat there, well this is an improvement in my life.

Anyway, back to my coffee, it is getting cold while I sit here writing this.
