ulcerative proctitis

I wanted to see if any have had a similar experience.   In Nov of 2011 I had a colonoscopy.  There was no sign of any issues at all.  In Dec 2011, I had strep throat.  I had never had strep throat before.  By Febuary,  I was having what is now known as a flare up from ulcerative proctitis.  I began to have bleeding and mucous.  In late Febuary,  I had another colonoscopy which revealed ulceritis proctitis.   Now in March I have strep throat again!  In adition to that I began to have another  mild flare.  I wonder if it is related, has anyone else had this experience?

sky2012,

Welcome to the forum.

Yes, I agree - you probably were given antibiotics for the strep throat and that wipes out your gut flora and good bacteria.

I would suggest you start on a good quality probiotic right away, and if you are on an antibiotic currently, then you'll need to double the dosage at the very least. BUT do not take them together - they must be taken at least 4-5 hours apart.

Hope you feel better soon.
