Hi big brains, I have UC. Thank you for this chat, I didn't really understand what was being said😅 but I appreciate every new discovery brings us closer to a cure.

I had a prolonged episode of UC, which went away. My mother and my sister had/has Crohn's disease, and many of my cousins on my mother's side of the family have Crohn's, UC , or IBS.. It seems to me that there must be a genetic component to at least some of the sufferers. Am I wrong or have there been studies on the subject?

Good question
