just a couple of different questions

I was doing so much better, then yesterday I ate a gyro chicken sandwich, which was spicy, with sourcream, onion, cucumber sauce, and some cookies,today I'm inflammed. Why did I do this? I was starving and feeling good and then I fell off the wagon and ate really bad, now today, bad inflammation. My inflammation always shows by making my rectum swelling like I have hemmroids, it pokes out. Its not hemmroids its that tissue that gets inflammed. I'm eating better today to get back on track.

Also I started YAZ birth control and want to do a rectal med, who else takes birth control and take uc meds? Just wondering?

Thanks

My GI told me that it was possible prolonged use of birth control pills can contribute to UC symptoms.  When I was diagnosed last year I gave up birth control. 

I take Yaz and Asacol. I was taking Ortho TriCyclen when I was diagnosed with Proctitis - it has since progressed to worse. I always wonder if the birth control pills contributed to my condition but I was taking the pill for years before the UC developed so I am not sure. I have heard of birth control pills causing an imbalance of flora and BV in some women so it seems possible. If I stop taking the pill my hormones are all out of whack and I get terrible acne. Sometimes I think maybe I have PCOS or something that would cause cystic acne and I wonder if it is all related.   It is probably not though...

I wasn't breastfed

I am hormonal

I take birth control pills

I was on antibiotics bc I had surgery prior to getting UC

Whatever may have caused it, it seems to be here to stay. I wish they could get to the root of this and solve it but it doesn't seem like that is ever going to happen.

I've never taken birth control pills. Both my mom and my sister got blood clots from taking them.
