Ulcerative Colitis Blog

This blog is about my experiences leading up to a diagnosis with Ulcerative Colitis, living with U.C., having a complete colectomy (large intestines removed), and life after surgery.  Hopefully I can provide insight and hope to others dealing with similar issues.

Colitis link to Epilepsy

Since I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and Epilepsy in a 2 week period in 2005, I have tried to find a connection between the two. I strongly believe the Asacol I was on greatly contributed to my seizures. Many times I have wondered how else they were linked.

Today I found an article that relates intestinal problems and epilepsy. Furthermore, it refers to my exact type of epilepsy and problems with the amygdala. I found this very interesting and wonder how many more people out there suffer from abdominal epilepsy, temporal lobe epilepsy, ulcerative colitis, or some combination of those.

Read the article and let me know what you think. I would be really interested to find anybody in a similar situation.
