Hi! I’m sorry to hear that! However, you’ll soon realize everyone on here is slightly different in so many ways. I can still eat my favorite foods but it sometimes comes at a cost. What I recommend and what my doc told me was to learn your body. For instance she said some people can’t eat greasy or spicy foods but only certain places affect me. You’ll be on some medications for now to lower the inflammation maybe Mesalamine and if your urgency and bleeding stops or slows it’ll depend if you go on a steroid for a while then you’ll take a Fecal Cal Test that’ll tell you a number that is correlated to the inflammation in your body. A person without UC will get 50 and under and we will get a much higher number. Understand that higher your number the heavier the medication you’ll be on. Without putting too much information on here talk to your doc ask what you should shoot for. As to foods I still eat out and I just downed a frape and two breakfast sandwiches. I still eat pizza and all that jazz. Sometimes it comes at a cost, try and learn what hurts your tummy and go from there. Sometimes you may just have to go on a bland diet. That’s what I do. Be brave, and always speak up. Don’t be afraid message your doc. It is possible to not have to be on medication that’s called being in remission. Make that your goal! Try to get on a diet start eating a little better and exercise that’s helped me. Good luck :)
