Hi all.. I was having flareup since feb 2013.. Recently completed pred dosage.. Then met doc again as i was still having 8 bm's/day..
He prescribed azoran 125 mg( previously 100mg) ,budenoside 9mg, pantasa 2g, revital, lopamide..although i have previously took budesonide and pantasa with no problem..but i was broked to see blood again, im nauxiatic all day and hav gas prblem now..what do u think could have caused it..any advices?

Hi naina,
it is possible, based on what you described, that you are intolerant to pentasa and most likely all oral mesalamines. Im intolerant to rectal mesalamines but not oral ones. When i take rectal mesalamines they increase bleeding for me, just like you. Being nausous is also a sign of intolerance to mesalamines.
Were you able to take any oral mesalamines before without increase in bleeding?

Since you're recently off prednisone with no rectal meds, I'd suggest you start there.

Are you on any probiotics?

Start keeping a log of activities, diet, etc. because you might discover what causes your flares.
I got them after severe illnesses (flu, food poisoning, complications of seasonal allergies). If I was well for a long time I would start training aggressively (that caused flares as well).
looking back over the 30years with UC I would have changed things (not tried so many alternative treatments and rather rested more and just moderately exercised).
But, you may find the log very helpful down the line. As soon as you noticed something not right, call the doctor. At the start of flares I have brief times where I thought I was better but wasn't. You'll know your body and what works more than your doctor or folks in here (including me).
