Finally seeing my GI tomorrow, I was previously on Apriso during a mild flare, finished it and my flare came back. Having about 10 BM a day. Been this way for 4 day’s, I’m concerned about possibly being dehydrated or anemic.
Have any of you experience similar symptoms ?

Oh yes.

Why did you stop Apriso? You should be on it long term to keep from flaring.

A flare can vary between 1 and 40j bms a day. You need to be on a maintenance medication to control your flare.

I do not believe Apriso causes nausea. Flares can cause nausea in about 20 percent of us. I'd wager your flare is causing the nausea not Apriso.

You can ask your gasteroenterologist to try a different med other than Apriso if you are certain...
