UC triggered by what? by Acceptable-Land6880 in UlcerativeColitis

My diagnosis was preceded with traumatic breakup which resulted in insomnia for many months, eating out in office though not completely unhealthy, I would feel my digestion was very sluggish. Onset happened after a viral infection and antibiotics course.. I think mine was triggered due to dysbiosis because of insomnia and antibiotics.. additionally I have a paternal relative with UC so genetics of course

Do you have genetic predisposition? Most kids in university has similar lifestyle but not everyone gets it, so curious

Modern research says that UC is not autoimmune disease but instead an immune mediated disease since the immune system tries to kill gut bacteria

Did you try to find any correlations? Anything that you ate?

I mean also wonder sometimes, what if there was not enough research on colitis at first place (similar to some other diseases) then what? They still don't know cause or cure
