I am lucky to have two beautiful dogs: A three-year-old collie named Juniper and a one-year-old Taiwanese Mountain Dog named Zeppo with unbelievably expressive ears. I love them both, and they bring so much joy to my life. 

Most of the time, hunger has an obvious cause, like not eating enough or choosing meals that don’t contain the right amount of nutrients (carbs, protein, and fat), says D.

A treatment plan that works for you is essential when it comes to managing ulcerative colitis (UC) symptoms and the inflammationthat can cause them. However, diet and exercise are also important.

Talk to your healthcare team to help you plan your diet and tailor activities to you.
