Have been in remission 3 years. Just on Lialda - a fairly low dose . For the past 4 days i am having major abdominal pain in waves - with bloating and tenderness all over my lower abdomen. Stool is not urgent and only once a day but it is not formed. It smells differently - I am hoping it is not blood. Any ideas? My diet has not really changed, but I am freaking out because I was soooooo sick 3 years ago when i was first diagnosed with UC (hospitalized for one month!).

It could be that you've picked up a gastro virus/bacteria, etc.

I had something like that in the fall....I didn't get any relief from antispasmodics which helped flares. I doubled both my probiotics and started rectal meds anyway because I ended up having urgency and hemmies as well.

Do you have a prescription for any rectal medications?

Are you on probiotics and fibre supplements? If not,. I suggest you at the very least start the probiotics.

Call the doc for rectal meds if you get any worse.

Keep us posted,

Do you have a temp? If so you probably have an infection or you maybe going into a bad flare... I get blood and smelling bowel movements when i am starting to have a flare or get an infection..

No fever, and I did just start rectal meds. Thank you for your replies. My stomach is just talking soooooo much. As opposed to m first major flare I am wondering if this one can just be up higher. I originally had pan - UC - but my main early symptom was urgency of mucous balls.

i get huge bloating sometimes for a diet that I know(think?) works for me. Usually only happens for a few hours post dinner. Find this tea that is labeled "Stomach Ease" by Yogi, or just regular herbal camomile helps a lot. Also exercise, but that's way before the bloating starts. Once I'm bloated, I just like to veg. good luck!
