hi mike, i have crohn's disease, a type of inflammatory bowel disease similar to UC. Besides eating healthy, not smoking or drinking will prevent problems with UC along with following up w/a good GI and taking the necessary treatments to stay in remission. Most ppl w/IBD exercise according to how they feel. Workouts vary in each patient as do medical treatments.
The Crohn's & Colitis Foundation of America has a website with tons of updated info on keeping in remission as well as a live chat & hotline that is run by healthcare professionals during the week.
good for you to wanting to be proactive in staying healthy.
Some folks w/IBD tend to ignore their GIs advice by eating foods that aggravate their symptoms, drink alcohol until they're drunk, smoke, and then they wonder why they feel so lousy. Best of health to you.
