Hi,
I gave had UC for nearly 15 years and during that time I've had a few minor flare ups during that time. The UC has been controlled with Mezavant, Imuran and Prednisone. A year before I fell pregnant my UC was under control and I was only taking Mezavant. I feel pregnant and was having the best pregnancy ever, until I was about 20 weeks pregnant and began to see the early signs of UC returning. In the last week it has become unbearable. My gastroenterologist increases my doses of Mezavant and trialled be out on pentasa suppositories for a month. There were no changes, except it was getting worse. 24 weeks in and the symptoms were continuing to get worse. He trialled me in Cortiment for a week and half but again there was no change. I'm at 26 weeks and my BMs have increased to 20+ per day, bleeding and mucus. The last two days have been terrible where my stomach seems to spasm and immense stomach cramps when I need to go. My specialist had to put me on 37.5mg of Prednisone yesterday and I'm not sure if I'm seeing any improvements. I started the Specific Carbohydrate Diet 2 days ago and haven't been able to stomach any food. I'm so worried about my little one, I can still feel her moving but it can't be good feeling like this. I can't seem to get any relief. I was just wondering if anyone else has been in the same boat and was wondering if there's a light at the end of the tunnel.
