I was just curious... has anyone ever been able to pinpoint an actual cause or a possible factor relating to a flare up??

For me, I feel it is usually related to my medications losing effectiveness or my foolishness in stopping my meds when I feel ok. I have also had a bad flare I blame on NSAIDs I was given by an Arthritis doctor, but of course cannot be certain that was the cause of the flare.

My doc said that a long course of antibiotics for acne may have been the cause. No one knows, but antibiotics upset the flora of the colon. Someone predisposed could flare. Some get yeast infections, and some get upset in other areas. We cannot think of any other triggers for my daughter. Makes a case for pro-biotics....
