In my second week of Uceris. No urgency/bleeding but the bloating and cramping are bad. I wasn't sure if I can take aleve or anything like that?

Only tylenol really. Your doctor could prescribe bentyl. Its good for cramping. I have some but have yet to take it.

For my cramps, if it is caused by bloating from any food I ate or the meds, I eat lemons, it naturally gets rid of gas and bloating.

I take Bentyl too...10mgs for mild cramping and 20mgs for severe cramping.

And no to Aleve, Advil or any Nsaid as they can promote intestinal bleeding. Tylonel is the main pain med we can take with no issues.

I take librax now, in the past i have taken bentyl and donatel. I always have cramps and My best friend throughout it is my heating pad. (hot bath with tummy submerged as well) This seems to help my cramping better then anything else. I do hope you get some relief soon!

Also i totally agree with Red...no NSAIDS. It is awful for us with U.C. It will make the bleeding so much worse and the cramping as well.
