Metamucil and probiotics during UC flare, yes or no.........

Everyone's flare is different, some have D, some have C, some have bleeding, some don't. There is not one answer that fits all so you have to describe your symptoms and then people can respond.

"In general" probiotics are good but sometimes you have to try a couple different to get one that helps and doesn't cause unwanted symptoms (gas, bloating).

"In general" fiber is good and many people like Metamucil but for some fiber can cause problems.

Diet is a very broad field and not answerable by "What can I eat?". Start keeping a food journal and noticing what your gut does. Sometimes it's not immediate, might be the next day. Sometimes you think "Aha, my gut quieted down, that's good" only to find out that whatever you ate caused massive constipation (C). It's trial and error.
Good luck, it's worth it but hard work being your own detective.

ditto...it's subjective and trial and error. Personally, I'd NEVER now go without probiotics or fibre supplements. I've found what works.

I think trying different products is a good thing also.

Food has no effect on my UC, and I've pushed it to the limit. I do definitely get discomfort, however, from some foods.

Medications is a for sure....

This is a tough one! I have been taking my metamucil and probiotic during this very stressfully months flare but I start getting cramps about 10 minutes after I take the Metamucil while in this flare!
I'm going to back off a few days and start taking it again after my colin settles down....

What was it that got you out of your last flares, and did you keep up with that during remission? It's always a mistake to quit what you were doing that got you to remission. That could be why you continue having more flares and they often get harder and harder to treat so the best thing to do is continue doing what got you to remission in the first place, forever so that you never have another flare. One of those things should be to continue taking probiotics, particularly if they were part of what got you to remission.
