well some peoples regular temp is diff than 98.6 for example mine is 97.3 In general a fever is not a concern unless it is over 100.5. it may just be that 99.7 is your average body temp.

no its not my normal but it seems to stay right under 100

No it's not normal to have those stomach pains after eating. Does it feel as if the pain is in your stomach or your intestines? Does the elevated temp make you feel rotten? In my early days of Uc, I would constantly run a temp like that but my doc said it was because my body was still trying to fight itself. I was in a flare at the time. But I haven't had a constant fever like that in a long long time. Are you flaring at the moment?

Im not to sure if Im flaring or not as I am new to this. I am going to teh bathrrom less times a day so thats improvment and it normally more formed than before but the stomach issues are wearing me down.
Last night again it hurt from my lower stomach all the way up the under the breast and to each side. This started 4 hours after I ate a bread adn turkey sandwich no lettuce or anything just plain. My temp was 100.2 before bed and I still have stomach issues this morning so ive been eatign saltine crackers. It may hurt because Im hungry I cant tell and Im afraid to find out. Oddly I had kindof a wierd epesode this morning with almost back diareha or at least really dark I dont generally have any blood or anything but Im just so confused and worn down I have no idea what to eat. Im about to eat baby food or applesause .

is ibuphrophin bad to take if you have uc?

Yes, it promotes intestinal bleeding.

I'm thinking that you should take this concern to your doctor. For some reason gallbladder issues pop to mind when you describe your pain. Maybe even liver - not sure but I really do think you need to call your doc about this one.

I am sorry for your pain. I know what you mean when your afraid to eat! I'm like Red do call your doctor. I was also told to not take iboprophin. My doctor told me to use Tylenol if I had too.

Hope you feel better soon!

i had bad pains and tenderness when i pressed my stomach and thats when they put me on Protonics, they said that stomach acid was coming up my throat when i was laying down and i also had black looking stools maybe its some kind of reflux but you'll never know unless you go to the doctor.

I get terrible pains if I eat Turkey. Sounds like you and I have a little aversion to it.

I notice you are taking Asacol...how long have you been taking it? I had problems with my stomach when i took it and as soon as i stopped they went away...just a thought.

For what it's worth, I am kind of going thru the same thing. For about a week I've been running a low grade fever (99ish) on and off. I went to my GI last week. He took blood and urine tests. I saw him again today. All results were within "norms" and no high white count or anything that showed an infection. It could be a virus but he also thinks it could be from inflammation with my UC.

He told me to take Tylenol for the fever. I take 1 500mg when needed. He also just switched me from Lialda to Colazal. I was on 2 Lialda per day because anymore than that seemed to increase my symptoms. He thinks Colazal may help but it might not.

Anyway, you need to determine if the fever is UC related or something else. Take Tylenol as needed and get some blood work done.

Good luck.

I just had blood work when I was diagnosed a month or so ago. It showed a sed rate in my blood of 77 which was marked as high but they didnt say anymore about it . Anyone know what normal is ?

Tylenol best pain relever ever!

Other big no-no's
Asprin
ibprofrin
any prescription pain meds *but sometimes you can't avoid them*
and any other blood thinners out there. BIG NO-NO'S.

In fact make sure you don't take any blood thinners.
Hope you get better, sometimes the meds cause the fevers. I take Imuran and the doctors say that that could cause higher then normal temps.But once my flair went away then my temperature went back down to 98 degrees so it could be possible that you are in a flair.
