Do people with UC always suffer with diarrhoea or can you have formed stools and strain to go?

My twin sister has recently been diagnoses with UC and the doctors think there is a possibility that I have the same thing. She got really ill with bloody diarrhoea and stomach pains but I have never had those symptoms. I go from having diarrhoea to straining to go all in one day. I am tired all the time and get horrendous nausea. As I've never had the bloody diarrhoea I was wondering if I had something different to UC.

I have never posted anything before so i hope this works and someone will reply to this.

Many thanks

Lorraine
