Christmas cheer (not)

Just love Christmas but my body seems not too
So far since the beginning of December I've had blood mucus And gas ++++ can't remember having a flare this bad for a very long time,just made it to toilet when I was shopping the other day
Have consultant appointment in January can't get one sooner as it's Christmas dont you love it
But am not going to let it spoil my Christmas as it doesn't matter what I eat it just goes straight through might as well have what I enjoy

Hey lambkins, maybe try adding some fibreous foods in there to help bulk things up some do well with either soluble or insoluble fibre (it's trial and error like everything else is with IBD) or even fibre supplements, it can take some time to kick in, and it may likely cause bloating and added gas but once your system adjusts to the fibre (it's best to start with a small amount daily and increase as needed) then it can really help with forming stools. Key is to drink plenty of water daily as well...glad you have a positive outlook considering how frustrating living with IBD is.

Sorry to read that you're flaring, Lambkins. Does plain boiled white rice help to slow things down for you? How is your weather over there? / Old Hat (33 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)
