Tenesmus

steroids are just about the only thing that help when I get that bad, both oral and rectal. Sorry you are dealing with this, I think this is the worst part of UC.

I’ve been on budesonide oral and enemas for a few weeks now but not seeing much improvement yet. I should have updated my signature sorry. I’m fighting taking pred as I’ve only just managed to get off a 2 year stint at the start of this year and can’t face going back on it again until I’m desperate. I’ll ask for the antispasmodic, thanks for the tip I’ve not heard of it before.

I agree this is the worst part, well that and pooping your pants is up there too haha, feeling like I’ve just had a baby- ah the joys!

Ah yes I’m on them too, and melasalazine suppositories. I’m sticking so much up my bum at the moment it’s like a party in there. Unfortunately I can’t keep much in for very long. I think I’m probably maxed out on both the melasalazine and budesonide from both end. I’m think I’m going to have to bite the bullet and get back on pred.

Not yet, my gi is away at the moment but back next week, I’ll ask for a stool test and then antispasmodic from him then, thanks for your help
