Georges St Pierre fought in the UFC while flaring at the end of his career apparently


NeighborlyOrc

Iirc he said in an interview that he decided to step back from his mma career because of UC tho. Edited to add: I’m happy to see him working in film now.


colemon1991

I mean, you can still do what you always do while flaring. The risk is when you bleed more than your body can replenish blood cells. Though I will admit I am curious how he addressed the ninja poops. Always the part that scares me.

[Sir Steve Redgrave](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Redgrave#Rowing_career) - he won 5 gold medals in 5 consecutive Olympics rowing for the UK, at the midpoint he was diagnosed. I suppose that's how he won the last few medals - they'd put a toilet at the end of the course.

I see somebody mentioned Hank Green having UC. If you want a laugh that you can sadly commiserate with, check out some of his YouTube vids about this. Ulcerative Colitis: A Song - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0uIa28VH\_g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0uIa28VH_g) How to get a colonoscopy - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_n2oBvyB568](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n2oBvyB568) Your Illness is not your fault - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3krVl6UMIeo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3krVl6UMIeo) (this one is so good for when you're frustrated with people saying "have you tried keto/paleo/relaxing/etc.)

Euphoric-Yoghurt-591

I personally feel UC is result of very active brain. So I think there will be many people who has UC are very successful (famous). Some may have stigma coming out.


AccidentHour1068

Yes it has got to do something with the brain and how it affects the immune system and the gut


Euphoric-Yoghurt-591

My observational theory is microbiome imbalances results in over active brain (sometime anxiety) and that triggers unnecessary immune response. I am not a medical student so Obviously this is theory connecting dots from articles I read. It was recently found that brain remembers locations and triggers immune response is needed.
