Hi there, I was diagnosed with UC exactly a year ago right wen i found out i was pregnant. I have had to take asacol every since. I had a few short remissions - the longest was right after i gave birth - i thought i was cured, it was amazing and i stopped taking asacol because i didn't want to take drugs while nursing. now i have a flare-up and i'm taking it again. Does anyone have any experience with this? I'm also taking iron which constipates me so i only go one or two times a day but with blood and mucous. Then sometimes inbetween BM's i just go a little bit but it's not BM - i guess it's tissue and it comes out immediately with gas. Sorry i'm being so blunt - this forum seems great and i certainly need to discuss these symptoms with people. any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks!
