I have had UC for 8 yrs- 25 yr old female on Apriso & VSL3#.I am having problems that started after eating a burger tues nite- just haven't felt right since. I really felt bad fri eve with fatigue, temp 101 & some nausea. I started having lots of diarrhea saturday ! also cramping. I felt better saturday night, still had lower abdominal cramping/soreness. This am I thought I felt better, walked to the store & felt more nausea & got very sweaty. I am still having low grade temp, diarrhea, but cramping & sore abdomen are bothering me. I really don't know if this is a virus, food poisoning. I recently changed Drs and tried to call- but I found out you can't talk to anyone util tomorrow !! I am thinking about going to Urgent Care, but not sure wha to do.I did take extra Apriso & VSL3# yesterday thinking that would help- bot I thought that may have caused my stomach cramps- Help me with some advice

Sounds like it's a stomach bug, we can get sick just like anyone else can. If you had seen blood then I might be more concerned about a flare.

I'd say it's a bug, usually food poisoning will be out of your system in a couple of miserable days

Sounds like the stomach bug that is going around. I had it in April and had horrible cramping and D for a day, felt better for a while, and then it came back again. Both my boys had it as well, only they had more vomiting than I did plus the D. Feel better!

I'm so discouraged !!! Still having lots of diarrhea & cramping & scheduled for Sigmoid on thursday ( never had one just colonoscopy) Dr started me on Uceris yesterday & I took my 1st pill & felt good- but diarrhea & stomach pain & cramping started again. I'm scared- I was doing so well & I feel like it was food poisoning- but Dr said I would be better by now. Need advice !!!

Ask your doc for a stool sample kit now and have that done before the prep/scope.
