I am in flare since thanksgiving. I have been using Hydrocortisone and mesalamine enema. At a times, the blood disappears and reappears in couple of days. So I have no clue what the heck is going on inside.

On the top of that, I am strongly suspicious that I have hemorrhoids. I am using hydrocosrtisone suppositories but same result as above. No blood one day and next morning, only blood.

I am unable to figure out if the blood is from the flare or from hemorrhoids. I am not taking oral Prednisone as I am participating in a clinical trial and I would like to see if the trial really helps me. Its not easy as BMs are super hard/strenuous, almost brings tears. I am unable to sit because of the >200W tail lamp.

Now that you know my status, I am curious how the heck you fix really bad nausea every morning. I searched through the forum and there are threads about it but nobody talks how to fix it. One poster mentioned some medication and I would like to keep pills on lower side, if possible. Nausea is so bad that I get urge to throw up too many times but I avoid. If I throw up, my esophagus gets so irritated that I can not eat or drink for almost 2 days, not very happy times.

Anyone has a suggestion on how you don't get this nausea in the first place?


FWIW, I am gluten-free for little over a month. My diet (amount) has reduced a lot because I am still unable to figure out gluten-free foods. Can there be any connection?

Thanks in advance.

Did you have the nausea before you started on this trial or is it causing it?

Usually if I get nausea, ginger or peppermint tea helps. But when it gets bad I resort to Zofran. I hate Zofran though because it makes me so sleepy. But you can try drinking the tea before you go to bed and immediately when you wake to see if it helps.

-Your signature doesn't include probiotics which IMO are very important in the digestive process.

-I have problems with hems and try to avoid straining so drink slippery elm powder mixed in a few ounces of juice before bedtime. It helps to keep things moving along.

-Do you drink enough water? A LOT of water is needed in your colon to keep the digestive process moving along.

-There are stool softeners sold that might help you.

Could you be nauseous because you have a lot of "back-up" in your digestive system?

I haven't gotten around with the trial yet because of see-sawing symptoms. They want the symptoms to be standard at 2 consecutive questionnaire time.

I am taking Benebiotics and VSL#3, so I am pretty good with probiotics. I take slippery elm powder in a smoothie with VSL#3 so that is covered too.

I drink pretty good amount of water. When it comes to stool softner, there is nothing to soften because half of the times, its only blood and no stools at all. I do take psyllium seed powder.

I am not too sure what got me hemorrhoids, strenuous defecation because of the flare or something else.

I have also heard that ginger tea is good to stop nausea. I have never tried it because I couldn't find it at my local store.
