So this just started happening to me. As I use the restroom for #2 I can tell when I'm actually going to go #2and it not just be a false alarm. I get a real sickening feeling in my stomach like I was hit in the groin, as I am going it gets so bad I throw up. Anybody have this problem? I'm 23 male been in a flare up for around 2 months trying everything to get better. I'm on meslamine supp at night and 40mg pred this is my second week taking the steroid.

Could be reflux, or a million other things. Maybe your colon didn't like something you ate? I had this problem with nuts/seeds a while ago.

Been there, done that. :) Sitting on the toilet, and throwing up in the sink, so much fun :). Give the pred some time to kick in. Some people get results very fast, other have to wait a bit. The first time I was on Pred, I was 10 days into therapy, and was in so much pain I was certain I was going to end up having a surgery. I was 27. Then all of a sudden, my symptoms drastically improved in a couple of days. Give it another week, and if you don't feel any better, ask your doctor for additional help!

And although vomiting is not highlighted as a prominent symptom of UC, it was most certainly very prominent in my case. I've done all exams possible to exclude any other condition that may cause extreme vomiting, and they all turned negative. There were times I had trouble keeping water down. Once I had my UC symptoms under control, the vomiting stopped.

In the worst part of my current flare that was me. I started taking zofran before my bad time of night, but it didn't really improve until my symptoms improved. Half the time it was so bad I'd just throw up before the actual bm or in the trash can while going. It sucks!! I wish I ha a solution for you...I tried to eat things that wouldn't be hurty or super offensive coming up. Peppermint altoids helped a bit but..honestly for me, if I'm uncomfortable in that way at all, I'm gonna be vomiting, so it wasn't enough to matter. You may be different.

Is the suppository and pred your only meds? Where is your UC located? Unless you just have inflammation in your rectum, I would think you would need an oral medication in addition to the pred as it isn't something you should be on long term.

YES, this has been happening about once per week since my last flare started after getting flu in December.

I usually feel a lot better after I puke, and then I wonder why I was trying so hard to keep it from happening.

Not at all related to any specific foods or beverages for me.

This preceded the reappearance of blood by several weeks.

The only advice I can offer is to be sure you drink plenty of liquids with your meals, 'cause it ain't no fun trying to throw up solid chunks of undigested food.

My UC is right at the end of the colon and in the rectum so oral meds I've tried don't help and rectal meds I can only keep in for a little bit before I'm running to use the bathroom

Reminds me of this one time in Mexico...

Ive never had that from uc though, except when I started sulfasalazine. In that case I just made sure to keep a garbage bin by the can at all times!

I feel your pain! I had been doing that for months! I started back on Early this month and it took a week or 2 to kick in good. I am now tapering down and still bleeding a lot and occasionally feel nauseous when having a BM but haven't had to actually throw up in a few weeks.

Being nauseated is quite common. My D is an easy puker, and she too had many tests to get to the bottom of it. Zofran helped, antacids helped,having her appendix out helped. Don't let it go untreated for too long, as she developed a hiatal hernia from the acid damage and it is hard on your teeth's enamel.
