    BONUS!!! Remission Realites with Ulcerative Colitis

    What does “remission” really mean when you’re living with ulcerative colitis? In this candid bonus episode of What the Poop?, Teri shares a personal story about a health scare that turned out not to be a flare — and the important lesson her gastroenterologist taught her about managing expectations in remission. With honesty and humor, she breaks down the realities of life with UC: why little “blips” are part of the journey, why it’s never wrong to check in with your doctor, and how to balance vigilance with peace of mind. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: The panic spiral of thinking a flare might be starting — and what actually happened Why blood doesn’t always mean a flare-up The role of tests, follow-ups, and communication with your GI team How infections and an already inflamed colon can mimic symptoms The key perspective shift: remission doesn’t mean perfect, it means better How to manage expectations so you don’t feel “crazy” when symptoms pop up Key Takeaway Even in remission, UC can throw curveballs. Managing expectations isn’t about lowering the bar — it’s about knowing what’s normal for your body, staying proactive, and giving yourself permission to not have it all figured out.

    Setting Realistic Expectations with Ulcerative Colitis

    When your body doesn’t cooperate the way you want it to, expectations can feel like landmines. The pressure to “keep up,” the guilt of letting people down, and the frustration of not meeting your own standards can leave you exhausted — long before the flare-ups even hit. In this episode of What the Poop?, Teri dives into the messy reality of expectations: The difference between self-expectations and other people’s How to set boundaries without apologizing Why reframing expectations can reduce stress and give you back control If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing because you can’t live up to what others expect — or what you expect of yourself — this conversation will help you breathe easier. Because managing expectations isn’t about lowering the bar. It’s about setting it where it belongs: in alignment with your health, energy, and reality.
