I am recovering from a major flare all year. I have no bleeding for several months now but haven't recovered my strength yet. I have felt pretty good, energy, and no symptoms. This week I have been experiencing more painful bowel movements, not diarrhea, no blood or mucous.. My colon feels achy all the time. I feel tired and sort of bad. Any thoughts on what is happening? I am on 12 asacol a day, asacol enemas every day, protonix, librax.

You might have picked up a gastro virus. Any change in what you're eating?

Where's the pain during bms?

Are the Asacol enemas 1000 mg? You could do them twice daily.

As well, up the probiotics.

Hope you feel better soon...I can relate to your symptoms.

UC Veteran,

I'm sorry you're feeling so crappy (no pun intended).

Have you had your vitamin b12 and d checked?

Are you on any probiotics?

UC Veteran,

Also, has the doctor checked your kidney and liver functions with your being on such high doses of asacol?

I've been having pain with few other symptoms for months. My GI says that although I may feel like I'm in remission I'm not. You probably still have inflammation in the lower end. I was exhausted for ages after all my other symptoms started to go away. I think it just takes time for our bodies to recover from such a nasty flare.

I have had every thing with blood work checked recently. My gastro ordered 17 different blood tests. The pain is a constant ache that is low and left sided which is my UC diagonsis. It is worse the first part of the day and ease up by the late afternoon. I have not thought of doing enemas twice a day. They are expensive, but my medical bills have been so high that now the insurance is now paying 100 percent so I may as well try it. Thanks for all the ideas.
