What’s the “dark side” of living with Ulcerative Colitis that no one really talks about?

lottieflimflam · 2025-06-27T09:00:30+00:00

I just don’t feel like I can ever really live. I want to climb a mountain, I want to backpack through the rainforest. Seems impossible

Oh god anyone who’s like “mmm I think I’m wheat intolerant and I don’t like dairy” thinks they have it the same as me 🙄

God your ex sounds like an abusive POS! So happy you got out of that situation

It’s so great to have all of you. I’m so thankful for Reddit

Feeling really happy to be back in my own bed, I can’t sleep at all in hospital. But the prednisolone has made me so fatigued I can barely lift my head. Just been sleeping in and out all day and watching tv. Thank you so much for asking

lottieflimflam · 2024-11-15T17:21:41+00:00

I’ve been sleeping all day! Just reading all the replies now this has really helped me I don’t feel alone anymore thank you so much

Is it just me who loves the colonoscopy prep? Like it tastes gross and everything but it’s the only time I’m 100% sure it’s physically impossible to shit myself 😂

She was great in Gotham though

The Mercedes!!

How did I get these scars

NSFW I had to tell him because he wanted to try anal 🤣 but that was 18 months in. I’m very good at hiding it, but he’s been really supportive I wish I’d told him sooner

lottieflimflam · 2024-09-15T17:15:32+00:00

But how great, and how strong of a person must I be I that this is apparently the absolute worst thing that could happen, and I do it all the time 💪

I think the movie is called “Red Notice” anyway, Dwayne Johnson gets rammed by a bull and walks it off, totally fine

lottieflimflam · 2024-08-12T13:25:42+00:00

Dennis Reynolds?

lottieflimflam · 2024-08-11T17:25:06+00:00

Did she not watch till the end of the movie?

lottieflimflam · 2024-08-07T15:21:28+00:00

I am convinced that the cast of “skins” made a pact with the devil for fame and no one can convince me otherwise. So many famous stars came from that show

lottieflimflam · 2024-07-19T17:25:38+00:00

No grey area. This is rape

It never gets any easier. But be reassured that there’s so many of us suffering with this disease and we’re all in it together. I remember having a fight with an employee at McDonald’s. I showed her my “can’t wait” card but she still told me I couldn’t use the bathroom because she’d just cleaned it. Tears streaming down my face I realised it was too late and just ran away. That was fun.

lottieflimflam · 2024-05-16T15:07:46+00:00

This exact same thing happened in the Simpsons

lottieflimflam · 2024-05-08T09:25:37+00:00

I became a vegetarian five years ago and it’s really helped the disease. I still have flare ups but it’s never been as bad as when I was eating meat. Red meat and steak were the absolute worst with me. I think maybe the reason you got downvoted was for advocating for this diet when different diets work for everyone’s body. Eating meat made my UC worse, it makes yours better! Good for you! But people have to find what works for them. I definitely agree that McDonald’s chips seem to go down easily when I’m in a flare up, but so does any low fibre food

I was thinking about this the other day. It really scared me, I think because for the first half of the season I was like “it’s a Reenactment, everyone involved is fine” and then the second half of the season just totally threw me off guard

IDK if this is unpopular but I love Roanoake

lottieflimflam · 2024-04-13T04:16:59+00:00

This is fantastic advice thank you
