Is this part of having UC?

Hello all. I have been flare free for about 4 months. Had a bad flare during the holidays. Took pred and then my G I put me on asacol 800 mg , 6 daily. Also rowasa enemas when needed.

Although I am better and not flaring? I have been having a couple of loose bowel movements during the day. ( about 4 x ) Not D, but not formed. I have no bleeding or mucus. Just stomach ache with some urgency.

I have been noticing extreme bloating, although I don't feel gassy. ( if I let my stomach relax and and don't suck in, I look 6 months pregnant)

Is this part of UC? Do most of you have issues In between flares? Could the bloating be inflammation? I am having a scope in Nov, due to the crummy insurance I have, I need to wait. I would hate to go back to the GI due to the expense.

Also, since I have not been having any proctitis issues (mucus or blood) I have not been using the enemas. The asacol seems to be helping with that.

At this time I order my meds through a canadian pharmacy ( I am in the USA ) it is very expensive, so I am using enemas only when needed. Thanks

Ditto on the above, 4x a day means you still have mild to moderate inflammation remaining. Simmering inflammation can make you flare up sooner than if the inflammation is totally gone.
