Is this symptom or?

Hi I have some small question.
I have diagnosed pancolitis, I am currently on 3 g oral salofalk per day eating almost regular food.
Sometimes I have gurgling in my colon that stops 10 to 15 minutes after I take 1 g oral salofalk.
I am more than 1 month sympom free just this.
Is this symptom or not?
Thank you all for answering.

Many with UC have gurgling. I'm curious as to why you asked. Are you considering dropping your dosage?

Are you hoping to go down to the 2mg maintenance dose?

Gurgling could just be from peristalsis starting from having just ingesting something. It can cause all of the GI tract to wake up a bit. :)

Well good luck! Maybe a quick endoscopy will show "clinical remission" besides "symptomatic remission" too and you'll be able to go down. Though a lot of people dont even need that to get their meds lowered!

And if the decrease causes any hiccups... just plan to go back up. Whats one more pill a day? :)

Congrats on your remission btw... keep up the good work! :)

I'm assuming you are taking 500 mg pills. You could try going down to 2.5 grams per day and see how it goes before going down to 2 grams per day. I would never go less than 2 grams per day, ever, even if you have been in complete and total remission for twenty years. My best advice is not to get too cocky. Salofalk is a pretty benign med. Don't get obsessed over taking benign meds only to flare later and then the Salofalk doesn't do as well as before and then you get stuck having to go to the bigger gun meds. There are tons of people who have come to this forum because they got too cocky with decreasing or stopping these benign meds only to flare again and discovering that just upping their dosages back up again doesn't work anymore.
