Morning madness

My flare is finally under control, but my mornings are madness. I can't leave the bathroom but once im empty I'm good to go. Has this happened to anyone else and have found any remedies to ease the morning madness?
My aunt suffers from UC also, and has terrible mornings but hers is all mucous and blood.
Anyone have a magical suggestion?

Everyone defines flare differently. Maybe you don't have yours under control as much as you think you do. about the only thing that will work in your situation might be to get up earlier.

You may have misunderstood me. I merely meant to get up earlier to get it out of the way so that it wouldn't interfere with getting on with your life the rest of the day. Getting up earlier won't stop it from happening. Your problem is extremely common and there are few if any solutions. I'm doing quite well myself but I'm pretty much guaranteed to have two BM's after getting up. In fact, I actually hate just going once in the morning because then I know that there's another one on the way in one or two hours and I'd rather just get them both over and done with before leaving the house.

Unfortunately many of us can relate with morning madness and anxiety in the early am. It is part of uc. You might still have some rectal inflammation lingering, and treating that may greatly improve your morning issues. I'd do canasa daily, it's rectal inflammation, go straight to the problem area. 4 lialda pills is the maximum, ask your gastroenterologist about increasing your dose to 4 a day. Try the above for a few weeks and see if you notice any improvements. Good luck,

Kelina: I have gone through a painstakingly long process over many years of fine tuning my protocol which helps me. I do not take anything and never have that I'm not 100% sure helps me. I think way too many people take a bunch of stuff and they don't really know if it does anything or not. Maybe they read somewhere that something is an anti-inflammatory, probiotic, etc. so they take it and keep on taking it even if they have no idea if it's helping or not. I don't do that. I add one new thing at a time to my protocol. If it makes me worse, I dump it. If it hasn't proven that it makes me better, I dump it. Then I add one more thing and start the process all over again.

So, yes, I take three different probiotics and they ALL help me to some degree. What a lot of people don't seem to realize is that probiotics are not probiotics. That's like saying that hamburgers are hamburgers or french fries are french fries. I'm not sure what you mean by "flora". Most UC'rs that have success with a particular probiotic take mega doses of 50 billion CFU's or more per day. Florastor made me worse. While Align is a great probiotic for a healthy person to take it is like one drop in the Pacific ocean for a UC'r, pretty worthless for most of us. Unfortunately, everyone is different so different probiotics work in different people but most everyone finds one that helps their condition. It is best to start at a lower dose and work your way up because they can make you gassy and bloated until your system gets used to them. Only trial and error will let you know if they help or hurt or don't do anything one way or the other.
