My UC has been in remission from severe UC for about 3 months, thank goodness. However, a couple of recent symptoms are making me nervous.
First: Yesterday and today, I've had 4 (total) consecutive bouts of diarrhea, which is something I've almost never had since being in remission. No blood, cramping or accompanying pain, just diarrhea.
Second: Earlier today, I started having some pain and tenderness in my abdomen, just below my belly button. It's tender to the touch and hurts a little when I sit up from a lying-down position. My first thought was "appendix" -- but then I figured it's much more likely to be colon-related given my history.
That's it. Part of me thinks I'm just being paranoid, but part of me is genuinely worried. Are these symptoms familiar to anyone?
