Mind/Body Medicine and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Flare-Up

The purpose of this study is to determine whether practice of one of two mind/body courses, among patients with moderately severe ulcerative colitis in remission, prevents flare-up of the disease. We expect to recruit 100 patients for this study. You will be paid $300 for participation in the study.

In order to participate you must:

• Have moderately severe ulcerative colitis in remission (flare-up in the past 6 months)
• Have no history of colon resection
• Not be pregnant

This is only a partial list of inclusion and exclusion criteria.
