Is Acetaminophin OK to take with Pred. Currently on 40 mg. Or should I be taking something else. I need something for the abdominal pain. I will be on Asacol next week also, will that help with pain and the amount of bowel movements?

Yes Tylonel is fine - in fact that is the recommended pain reliever for Uc'ers. You can also try using heating pads to help with the abdominal pain.

I have to agree with Sherry on the heating pad that is what I use it helps a lot for me.

Yes, Tylenol is okay to take, and yes, Asacol should help with your pain and reducing bowel movements. It got rid of my pain and I was having the most severe, debilitating pain of my life. I hope it works as well for you!

A hot bath also helps!  I get the tub as hot as I can stand it and pull my legs up to my chest.  I also agree w/ others the heating pad is my best friend!

Ditto! I am laying on my heating pad right now! I took two or three hot showers yesterday and just sat in the tub part and let the hot water fall on me. I consider my showers heaven right now. I also take Tylenol which helps.I am braving work today to I am going to go buy those pads for back and stomach pain and put them on my tummy and back so that I can get through the day.

If the pain is due to trapped gas and you can't get it out try Phazyme, it's a great anti gas and the liqui caps have no ingredients to bother our sensitive systems.
