About Better Days

Welcome to Better Days

Better Days is an online resource co-designed with people living with ulcerative colitis, healthcare professionals, and other key stakeholders to support people adjusting to life after diagnosis. Drawing on research into people's experiences of ulcerative colitis, it combines real-world insights with information and resources to help you navigate some of the challenges that can arise along the way.

​

The experiences shared during the research highlighted three areas that often contribute to stress in everyday life with colitis:

  • Talking about your colitis

  • Adapting daily life

  • Managing health decisions
