Flare up after two year remission

Oh man, there's no denying it now. It's a flare. Went from going once a day, perfectly formed, no urgency to four to five loose semi urgent a day in what seems like an overnight change. Literally was fine the day before and now not. It's been a week like this so it's obviously a flare and not a bug or something I ate. I'm so sad and worried. I'm just back to work after maternity leave and can't afford to be needing time off. I also have a one year old to run after. Just not sure how I'm going to manage a flare on top of everything else. I've increased my Pentasa to full dose (from maintenance dose) and started nightly suppositories yesterday. All of my enemas have expired, so I'm going to do the suppositories for a few days and see if that will help, if things get worse I will have to phone the doc for a prescription for enemas. Argh, I was just starting to really enjoy remission and trust my colon again (accident anxiety finally almost gone). Now? Gah.

This is my first flare since my initial flare that lead to diagnosis. Please tell me it's not likely to get AS BAD as it was the first time? I've been on my maintenance meds the whole time and feel like I'm on it pretty quickly now, whereas before diagnosis they had me with no meds and going on for quite sometime before they figured out what was wrong. Please tell me that's why it was so bad and not every flare lasts years?

A quick onset makes me think infectious c diff, get a stool test.

I'm sorry to hear this! I think if you jump on this flare it won't get as bad as the last one. Hang in there. I agree, get a stool test just to be safe and ask for a new script for enemas.
Having a 1 year old is exhausting and going back to work won't help there. I would bet stress had something to do with this flare up. Fingers crossed you stop this in its tracks quickly.
