Haven't eaten much today but have felt pain in my left quadrant. NO blood or mucous right now since being on pred.  Ugh.  I am so uncomfortable.  Just want to go to bed. Any suggestions to get stuff moving- get air out- or is the pain due to the UC. 

Oh Also have been nausaus for weeks.  Now not sure if it is the imuran or just the UC. what do you think?

Again...sounds like a flare. Your doc should prescribe you at least an antispasmodic. Call the doc and beg for something to help ease the spasming.

Your doc is a sadist. sheesh.

I know I should remember....but you're on a rectal med..right? which one?

Please put a signature at least with the meds you're on now.....but I'll probably confirm it anyway..lol!

Do go to bed if you have to and lay quietly.

It's good the bleeding and mucus has lessened.

You could try Gravol (Dramamine in the US). That could help your nausea.

Maybe drinking some ginger tea or taking ginger capsules might help? Don't take if you're pregnant.

Keep us posted.

My bet is it is the Imuran.  It made me feel awful and it was getting worse when my Dr finally pulled me off it because my livers were not looking good (I was having my blood drawn every 2 weeks). 

Definitely talk to your Dr and if he/she isn't having your blood tested ask about it.  :)

Sometimes I have the same thing. Its really hard to verbalize the pain in my left side, it almost
feels like deep soreness that just gets worse and worse. And I do believe the nauseousness goes
along with a flare up ( for me anyway) Do you ever get the left sided pain without the diarrhea??

Yes- I often have the sorenness without dairrhea.  Yes- it is like a deep soreness right at the bottom of my ribcage and then aobut 4-7 inches down.  Hey- how long is 20cm compared to inches.

I think its around 8 inches

I have the same exact problem with gas. I have been having awful gas but since I started pred, I have been able to let it go without worrying about accidents which I am thankful for but the wind is embarrassing. Last night it sounded like a car was backfiring in my place. This morning, every time I turned over I let one fly. Worst part was today at work, I went in the bathroom to pee and I let out a loud bit of gas and the bathroom is right next to my male co-workers office. I know he heard. I ran the water just in case but I don't think it did much of a job covering the noises. This guy must think I am a pig.

Sorry I don't have any advice for getting rid of the bloating. I think the more we heal, the better our gas will get.
