Invisalign & UC/UP

My UP has been under controlfor the past 5 months on just probiotics. On Friday I started to get flare symptoms, gas, diarrhea, cramps noxious smell. Thankfully no bleeding....

While I certainly know food, stress, and all sorts of things can set of a UP flare, has anyone heard of the plastic/invisible braces being a contributing factor? I had ClearCorrect braces (the poor woman's Invisalign) made and I have been wearing them for about 3 weeks. They work just like Invisalign and are made with similar plastics.

I had a bite guard for years with no trouble. Now I am wondering if the plastic in my mouth is leeching something unhealthy. Has anyone heard of invisible braces aggravating UP/UC? Or is this just Grassy Knoll conspiracy making?

Any insight from the group would be helpful.

I think you meant "Gassy Knoll".

Blaming anything....that's exactly where I am. I too have blamed detergent, food, nothing good on TV tonight...

At the same time I thought, "I have something at the top of my digestive tract that is pretty unnatural." I wasn't sure what was breaking down as the weeks went on that my body was trying unsuccessfully to digest.

And yes, Richard in NY, I did mean "Gassy Knoll!" Good one!
