I am certain I have not dreamt it but I remember a recent news article about a 'breakthrough' regarding causes of the U C and Crohn's disease. DNA was mentioned and also antibiotics. I am allergic to Amoxicillin so I try to avoid any Antib's where possible. There was also a mention of 5 year medical trials. I am very interested in following this matter, has anyone else heard of this medical trial or even got an update?

I have only had two episodes of UC in 30 years but each time I am convinced Antib's were a major causal factor. I am now 76 years old and in reasonable health.

Hi there, @Neville!

Thank you for starting this discussion. It seems our members might have missed it so far, but it's definitely a fascinating and important topic. And I can understand your concern about antibiotics and their potential role in triggering UC episodes, but it's great to hear you're in reasonable health despite these challenges!
