I stopped by a construction site & used their Porta Potty. Roomier than a plane's potty.

Hi,
Not blowing my own trumpet or anything, but I was at the healthiest I had ever been prior to getting UC symptoms. I was eating very healthy and exercising 6/7 days. I'd love to know if any lifestyle factors affect UC, but I suppose I'll have to wait until they figure out what causes it.
I've been trying to occupy myself by being in contact with friends often, but some days I am really not in the mood and find it hard to drag my mind away from what ends up being a mountain of thoughts. I suppose it's all part of the learning process and I'm sure it'll happen less with time. This website has been great so far. It's great to be able to write this sort of stuff down and chat with people that understand what's going on. For that, I thank everyone on this website.
Thanks,
Hamish.

You can use biodegradable bags. Tie off, like at the dog park. Mother Nature will do the rest.

Tie off, like a doggie poop bag, and toss it in the trash. I see people on all our local trails doing it. We have free dispensers all over.
