I was in a flare since January. The past month symptoms slowly improved. The past week all symptoms are gone. No blood no mucus and only 2 BMs in morning.

BUT.....every afternoon i get a low grade temp. Has this happened to anyone that just recently went into remission? UC is so confusing. Other than the concern for fever, I feel good.

I would give it a little more time. I was in a flare not too long so I went on a diet. After about a month I felt normal again, no symptoms whatsoever so I went back into my regular eating habits and boom! I started flaring again. Now here I am back on my diet and -13lbs, assuming it should take about another month till I start feeling normal again but I will continue my same diet for a little longer this time. I am reaching the end of this 2nd flare(I think). Im also going to try some cabbage juice to see how that goes.

I've never gotten a fever when going into remission. Maybe its something else or a bad reaction to one of your meds? IDK

I've never had fevers with my Uc. Low grade fevers can mean a lot of things. Maybe your body is fighting something? Do you feel run down?

I can sympathise with this - I have the same symptoms.

There is no blood, mucus, urgency, pain but some days I feel like I have a low grade fever - generally seems to be late evening or during the night.

I've woken up a few times very hot/sweating just like you do with a fever, but there are no other symptoms like runny nose, sore throat as you'd get with flu. Just a general feeling of being on the edge of a fever.

I'm inclined to think it's some kind of UC symtpom as I've never had it before - I wonder if allergies could cause this e.g. wheat or gluten?
