Do You Need to Change Your UC Management Plan?

If you have ulcerative colitis, you might be wondering, “Can life with inflammatory bowel disease get better, or is this as good as it gets?” Too often, it can be hard to determine the answer.

Since ulcerative colitis can affect every part of your life, it’s important to start your treatment journey with the right doctor. The healthcare provider you choose should be someone who listens to your concerns, makes time to answer your questions, and prescribes a treatment that can help keep symptoms under control over the long term.

To identify whether you need a change in treatment or simply a renewed focus on other areas of your care, take this series of six assessments, guided by Rabia de Latour, MD, a gastroenterologist at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine in New York City. The results can help you determine not only how much ulcerative colitis is affecting your health, stress, body image, and well-being, but also whether your treatment plan is working and how your food choices are affecting your health.

You don’t have to settle for “good enough” ulcerative colitis care. Check in with yourself and then schedule a checkup with your doctor to discuss the results.
