Hello all and hope you are keeping well. My Crohn’s has been fairly stable for best part of a year since I started stelara. However there has been a tummy bug doing the rounds at my little ones school and he kindly brought it home and shared it. He is now fine and I feel rotten. Nausea, no appetite, watery diarrhoea. Yuk. Any tips for recovering and hopefully not triggering a flare? I’m already on probiotics and vitamin D.

Really doubt there's any worries of this triggering a flare. Just has to run it's course. Stay hydrated, soups, tea, maybe some electrolyte drinks. If you're not on solids for a few days, try some ensure or boost. Hope you're feeling better soon.

Staying hydrated is going to be the best thing you can do to keep it from causing a flare! I have LOTS of experience with this lol.
