UC flare.. cant control bleeding.

Some people need to start on higher doses of prednisone. Constipation & formed stools isn't the most common presentation for UC, it will be good to see what's going on and proper treatment. How were you initially diagnosed? Scope with biopsies? I hope you can get the catscan quickly and get some options. If you've already received a concrete diagnosis with scope/biopsies, I do not understand why they are waiting to treat you... Very strange. I think I'd go get another opinion if that is the case.

No, there are a lot of people who have that situation and do have UC - just the majority of us have D and go constantly. I don't know why they wouldn't give you more options with your pathology results indicating UC. Have you had stool tests recently? I think I would try to get a 2nd opinion from a GI at a IBD center.

First, don't accept what you're experiencing today as your normal. What's normal for UC patients is what's known as a remission, where we have zero symptoms from our UC. Our treatment always strives for a remission. Admittedly, there is a whole lot of trial-and-error when treating UC, and it's normal to have your gasteroenteroligist not get it right the 1st time, the second time, and sometimes even the third time. Everyone responds so very differently to each treatment that there's no single treatment that always works universally for everyone. There's no instant-gratification, as it commonly can take a series of months, a year, or sometimes even longer to find your solution and get you into a remission. A remission can last 2, 3, 5, 8, or more years.

Certainly keep in touch and after your gasteroenteroligist if you are not feeling well. Get additional tests to see exactly what is going on, ask to try different medications and stronger doses until you find out exactly what you need to be well. We often find that we need to become our own best advocates for what we need to be well, be persistent, suggest treatments at your doctor's appointment that are appropriate for your current UC severity, etc. Don't expect your doctor to know all of the answers. If you and your doctor do not get along well together, then switch to another, or get a second opinion on your treatment.

Pains could be from UC inflammation and your flare, trapped stool due to constipation, or trapped gas.

With constipation, I would make sure you are taking ample fiber within your dietary intake and maybe consider adding Metamucil or another similar fiber supplement. Make sure you are drinking your daily recommended amount of water based on your activity levels. Increasing your daily exercise can also help move things along, naturally.

If you've only had a flexible sigmoidoscopy, then I would ask for a full colonoscopy down the line, to be absolutely sure you do not have Crohn's disease, Indeterminate-Colitis, or Crohn's-Colitis. The odds are lower, but it is best to have a full idea of what is going on within your complete large intestine, and not just the roughly 50% that the flex-sig is capable of seeing.

pretty sure that everyone that has ever posted on this forum has a one time thought the big C - it's only natural when things are frukked up down there - but most likely you are just experiencing the normal sh!tty UC symptoms that vary from one colon to the next -

so what is a typical days food intake currently ?

and ya, i would definitely suggest trying some sort of fibre pills like Metamucil if you haven't already -

Im eating high fibred food.. like weetabix etc.. drinking plenty of fluids etc..

Guess its just the amouny of blood every BM.. and the lack of stool thats worrying me.

Keep passing plenty of gas.

I guess with the flexi-sig it wouldve confirmed if i had cancer..right? So that should put my mind at rest..

My IBD nurse doesnt seem too concerned, and keeps trying to push me into private treatment which is p*ssing me off..

Have you tried mesalamine rectal enema instead of the pred foam? That might be worth a try if pred foam is not helping.
