4. When you feel the urgent need to go to the bathroom, do you have an actual bowel movement?

5. Are you familiar with how inflammation contributes to your UC symptoms?

Inflammation is your immune system’s defense against things that are trying to make you sick. But with UC, your immune system becomes overactive and attacks the colon, which can lead to a cycle of more inflammation, symptoms, and colon damage.
