macdonalds ARRGGHHH

I am so sorry. I am bummed out myself. I had a couple raisins and a couple chips yesterday after eating nothing but 5 regular items (salmon, almond butter, ham roll ups ugh) and my stomach started hurting so much. It hurts all under my ribs, as in under the rib cage where I can't rub the pain away. UUGGGH WHY WHY.

For me, it's usually a cocktail. I love a little Jack (Daniels) & Ginger but it sure doesn't love me. Only takes a little. Duh, alcohol on ulcers??!!
OK, I'm a broken record, but could it be the bread/gluten that made you react so strongly to so little a bite??
Anyway, I hope you get past your setback soon.

I do believe some things are coincidence and some really "bother" us.

As for McD's - when I have to go there or want to go there I have a ranch wrap with ranch.  That seems to agree with me ok!  I am learning what I can eat at certain restaurants and have to stick with one or two items unless I want to "suffer" later.  Flat bread or pita bread is a good choice.

Oddly enough, flaring or no, one of the things I always seem to be able to tolerate is McDs! I have lunch there, typically Fries and a Quarter Pounder w/Cheese most days for lunch. I can seldom eat breakfast, but by lunch am feeling ok. Even with that for lunch I have been steadily losing the weight I gained while on Pred for two years -- as of this morning I am only 4 1/2 lbs away from my goal weight (more than five years ago I achieved "Lifetime" Weight Watchers membership and kept the weight off until I was on Prednisone).

Yeah, it's not the best meal I can have, but it'a one that reliably doesn't make me nauseous. And again, oddly enough, McDonald's french fries are the only fries I can usually tolerate!

I can handle McDs, but Burger King sends me to the crapper within hours. Go figure.

Ditto here on being able to tolerate mcdonalds. Lately any food I eat is hurting me regardless of what it is, but typically McDonald's is the only fast food I can eat and not get sick from it. I usually just eat one or two of their regular hamburgers and they're just fine. I did here once that their burgers are mostly soy but never found anything official to back that up. I also like that Bacon Ranch chicken sandwich... mmm.

I've been addicted to that monopoly game lately, haha. My stomach hates me for it, but I'm hoping to win big! Hey at least it's not as much of a waste as lotto/scratch off tickets.. At least with this I still get food out of it even if I lose.

a little bite of food isnt going to send you into a flare. like quincy said... you're already flaring.

this is an auto-immune disease.... food does not cause ulcers or UC to flare. when you eat food, it goes to the stomach. and if you have a stomach ache from it right away, its not UC. UC is ONLY in the colon. not the tummy.
and hours later, when it hits the small intestine, if you have pain there, then its also not UC.

the colon hurts when the food hits the colon and by then, its not what the food is anymore that matters, its how hard or soft it is or maybe even spicy or bulky (or pointy as it sometimes feels).

if you had that bad of a reaction, then it has to be from something that you ate hours prior or the day before. it is not medically possible for food to get to the colon in less than quite some hours. transit time to the colon is about 6 hours. once in the colon it can take up to 48 hours to move through. but with UC, that time is quite quicker. but until it gets to the colon, its not UC thats affected.
