Hi guys
So Ive UC since 2014 but never seen such a bad flare. In September I started off with vomitting 20-25 times a day and diarhhea 15 times. As time passed 3 weeks later I took emetrol to control the vomitting which worked! Then my diarrhea came in control with the ayurvedic meds I take. But I experience gas everyday which ive never experienced especially passing gas after 4pm causing BM. Ive tried activated charchoal, gas-x and peppermint oil none helped! I also had hoarseness last weekend with coughing and constant burping sometimes really loud. I do not have heartburn. I started taking 20mg Nexium otc 3 days ago. My burping isnt as loud anymore but its still there constantly and the gas! Please help what I can do to resolve both the issues!

try crushing fennel seeds...about 2 tablespoons and boiling water. Make a tea from the crushed fennel seeds and drink a couple cups a day. It tastes like licorice. Sweeten with whatever sweetener you like. Good luck

It doesn’t sound like a UC flare to me, maybe you have a food poisoning or something else!
Vomiting isn’t a UC symptom,

Gas-X works for many.

Vomiting is concerning, and may be caused by a number of non UC causes, like gastritis, overeating, alcohol, an ulcer....the list is long.

Good luck!

I have vomited, but it’s vomiting associated with pain from IBD.

Get an appt to see your dr. Your symptoms do not sound like a flare, it sounds like more of a possible Gerd issue. The hoarseness, coughing for sure, it could be a number of things. Something that work well for gas is an OTC product called Phazyme, it has Simethicone in it. The one I get is the maximum strength 250mg. I can get gassy at times, but my husband, omg, unbelievable. I swear breathing gives him gas, lol. It does help him a lot.

Hi there. Have you checked in with your doctor? I have had similar symptoms but not sure what’s going on with you. I have had nausea and vomiting along with diarrhea, and it isn’t with every flare but I understand nausea and vomiting can be symptoms of a flare with UC.

The presence of excess gas is usually meaning I’m not healed when it happens to me. None of the over the counter items work for me when it happens. The only thing that helps are my meds and SCD diet. I will do probiotics too. I would recommend checking in with your doctor. Hope you feel better soon.
