I went to the Mayo Clinic as my GI wanted me to do surgery and I found out I have a allergy to the 5 ASA's. I was happy to hear this and have been doing great for quite some time. Currently on Humira and Imuran.
Last week I got the flu with some vomiting and my stomach has been hurting since then. My dr gave me some pain medicine but none of the meds I'm on reduce inflamation. So far no bleeding or other problems but was wondering if there is anything I can take to treat the inflamation portion or will it just eventually go away? I don't want it to turn into a flare up.
I read somewhere it is ok to take celebrex even though it is a NSAID if you have UC. The steroid enema's have worked in the past but I don't think I am to that point. I have been drinking as much Poweraid as I can.
Anyone in the same boat? Thanks for the help.
On a side note they say only 1% of us are allergic to the 5 ASA's but the symptoms are the same as the disease(I'm sure this is much less than it should be). If you are headed to surgery I recomend a trip to the Mayo- they are awesome.
