Hello all,
I was just curious to know if it is possible for foods that did not bother me in my last remission to now bother me in my current remission. I was first diagnosed four years ago, and my dosage of lialda kept me in remission until a flare up about four months ago. For the past four years, I never really had any symptoms, I could eat whatever I wanted, and basically forgot I had this disease. However, I had a pretty bad flare, but have been back in remission for about three weeks. I noticed some foods seem to bother me now. Is it possible for me to be aggravated by foods that didn't bother me before, or am I just not 100% healed.

That's a million dollar question. Good luck getting to the bottom of it. Do you have any UC symptoms at all? Everyone seems to have a different definition of remission. If your condition is truly in a complete and total 100% remission then it is possible your gut microbial composition is just different, causing you to be more sensitive to foods that you weren't sensitive to before. If you are not in a total and complete 100% pre UC condition then I would say that is your answer. Was it just Lialda only that got you into remission before? If you used other things as well as Lialda and then just cut back to Lialda, which kept you in remission for a while but then you wound up flaring again then I would say that you are being naive to think Lialda will keep you in remission all by itself when it apparently did not before. Did you decrease your Lialda at some point and maybe that is why you flared? If so then you may need a higher dose of Lialda to stay in remission.
