That’s because ulcerative colitis can affect every part of your life, and self-care involves so much more than picking up a prescription from your doctor. Which is why it’s important to take a moment to reflect and ask yourself how well-controlled your condition really is — and where you might be able to make improvements. To help you identify whether you need a change of treatment — or simply need to put renewed focused on other areas of your care — we’ve assembled these six assessments, which look at how much ulcerative colitis is affecting your health, stress, body image, and well-being; if your treatment plan is working for you; and what your food choices mean for your health. You don’t have to settle for “good enough” ulcerative colitis care. Check-in with yourself, then schedule a checkup with your doctor to discuss the results.
