If you start having bad cramps and pain does in mean the UC is active again?

Not enough detail provided to say, could be UC, could be other things.

I have been dealing with cramps and pain, but a recent scope showed no signs of active UC. I've determined that I have IBS and following a low FODMAP diet has eliminated my symptoms.

The symptoms are severe pain and cramps to begin with and now just cramps that come and go but not severe. Stool is loose but no blood. Will oral mezavant currently prescribed at 4 pills before breakfast cure this if it is a flare. Or would you know if a trip to the GI is needed? I'm afraid he will prescribe prednisone again as he treats aggressively.

Usually I wait a day or two if I have cramping to see if its gas or something that i ate. If my cramps don't ease and is accompanied by that urgent need to go to the bathroom, than I know I'm headed into a flare.

Do you have any rectal meds? If so and if your not on them, I would recommend you do them in case you are at the beginning of a flare.
