Uceris Cramping!?

What kind of cramps are they? Are they different from UC cramps?

When I was healing I had different kind of belly pain. But I knew I was healing. It went away once I was fully healed.

Talliecat your cramping may also be from starting florastor... :)

I did not experience extra cramping with Uceris.
but we are all different! :) :)

Are you still taking the steroid enema? I'd think it would be a good addition to the Uceris since you cannot use mesalamines.

What is the stool consistency and frequency like?

q

Inflammation markers vary with actual symptoms....so it's obvious for you that they don't match. Maybe with infection they would, but for flaring they don't. Good for you to know that.

Good the enemas are in use as well.

Your less stools and cramping match....it does mean things are improving if you had diarrhea previously.

You could ask the doc for an antispasmodic...I use dicyclomine,which helps amazingly for me.

See how you are in a few days....

How are you eating?

q

Imodium? and your doc is ok with that? I'd say that's part of the problem you have the cramping, because of the location of the inflammation and the functioning of the colon/rectum when it's flaring..

It's not something you should be using while in a flare....

Hope the dicyclomine helps...what's the dosage and the schedule as per your doc?
