Just for further education, flares can also include but not limited to: joint pain, fatigue, sweating, chills and low grade fever. That's my experience, at least.
I know what you mean having a flare up last few days how do you work did you have to get disability been dilling with this for probably a year after gallbladder surgery do you puke green and have green diarrhea its not always green
Eat cucumber and carrot as salad everyday, include apples and pomegranates more in your diet, buttermilk and curd rice might be a great help. Eat curry leaves or mint leaves chutney
This was calming and helpful. Thank you. It's been years since I was diagnosed and a flare still throws me off my game. Thanks for the clear steps. I'll save this as reference.
I had two this month. Put me out 3 to 4 days a week. I’m curious if anybody else has diarrhea or vomiting or they have pain in their heart? I think from the vomiting, the strain on my heart, the hospital thought that I had a small heart attack last time. How do you know where it comes from that is the scary thing? Do you think it is completely diet?
I was diagnosed when I was fifteen after a year of pain and suffering. People are too scared to treat or diagnose children in the US and I almost died because of it. We need to fix our healthcare system or things are only going to get worse.
@@user-hi7vo9ct5xIn all honesty, not great. Im not incapacitated anymore but I still have a lot of pain and other symptoms even on medication. Im trying to look into alternative things to try it now, like seeing a dietician.

I can get an Ulcerative flareup if I use antibiotics, even topical ones, such as Neosporin. They destroy bacteria in my gut, and I get an overgrowth of bad bacteria, which causes a flareup. Unfortunately, my GIs will only prescribe meds that suppress my immune system and recommend colon surgery when the meds don't work. My GIs know nothing about balancing gut microbiome. They know nothing about diet, probiotics, FMT, ... I've had to learn all this on my own. If I had known earlier, then I never would have taken their meds. All I got from them was side effects, including interstitial nephritis and osteopenia.
@@KulmiyeMr I saw a functional doctor who gave me supplements, one of which killed the overgrowth of bad bacteria in my colon. One of the ingredients in the supplement is an herb that's used in Chinese medicine. In my case, my UC flare-ups are often caused by an overgrowth of bad bacteria in the gut. It makes sense that this supplement would put my flare into remission. However, I still recommend doing your own research before taking any medicines/supplements or undergoing any treatments. My current functional doctor can get a little overzealous.
I was diagnosed in 2013 too and have been dealing with the insurance struggle and getting a good care team in place. Hoping things look up for you. Hang in there. ❤
Went years without having a flare; was diagnosed at the age of 6 and went in remission around the age 10. Now I’m 22 and my UC has been back up and running for the past 2 months😪😪
@@JanFreebersyser-ne7gzoh its constant for sure. Day in and day out, my fiance seems miserable and I don’t have any other resources to help. Scheduled to see the GI but i feel like thatll only lead to wanting surgery.
I am just getting over flare up. I’m 50 and just diagnosed in2022, this was 3rd and the worst. The pain was unimaginable, several times I was sure I was gonna pass out, hoping to. Ended up in ER and have missed 3 days of work. I can’t imagine dealing with knowing one of these could be right around corner. I’m currently petrified to move.😮
Hmm, another re-active version Id expect from conventional medicine, there are more pro-active programs to avoid having the flare. The medications do-not remove the cause of the inflamation only the symptom.
I've had Ulcerative colitis for 18 year's and the carnivore diet has put my Ulcerative colitis into remission for over 3 years and I'm off all medications
Yes I have heard about this. I have UC for 27yrs, I drink kefir milk which I make myself with the grains also cod liver oil and aloe Vera are which help but I am unwell a lot now and the disease has spread to the right side. I don't know if I could stick to the meat diet but I will give it a try.
Be careful of this, not everyone responds well to diets and ditching the meds is literally one of the worst choices you can make as most people don't have the will power to sticking with ultra restrictive diets.
This may help to cope: any two ply tp and any body lotion (not body wash), wipe and repeat until paper is clear. Cleans and soothes rectal tissue. Expensive wipes are history!
Thank you for this information. Ever since I was diagnosed with IBD, I have been eating Herbalife and it really good with managing gas and constipation..... I've been feeling way better. When I don't have money to buy the Herbalife than I will feel this gas on my abdomen
Hi I have a Question, Is Herbalife a powder, pills, Etc...? I would love to buy this for my daughter that has pain in her belly often cause of her colitis
My Crohns is really getting me down at the moment. Ive felt ill for a few weeks with zero energy. I have two young kids so it sometimes makes me irritable and I don't have the energy to play with them. I also find it hard that you're never sure if you feel ill whether its linked to a flare or not. Ive had headaches for weeks and no idea if its Crohns or something else as Crohns and the medications can obviously lead to so many different symptoms
I m taking medications regularly yet I am getting unwell. Urgency to go to toilet, cramps in thigh, feeling feverish. I don't know what to do. I am having ileitis.

Hi I had the disease for over 15 years it was in control for at least 12 years until my doctor's messed up and failed to do the correct test when I had really bad gurgling in my stomach. I would get your Doctor to get you a dietitian and check for deficiency in things like iron, B12, calcium, and potassium etc. Make sure as well all your meds are timed for the same time each day or month week mine monthly now.

The only other thing I can advise is try and relax when you can and I know this is the difficult part of exercise when you can. I know none of this is a cure but it may help. Best of luck to you.
Did you find anything out? I thought that was a great question, I think I have the same thing, had it twice this month already it is so incredibly painful that I can hardly stand it. When they ask my pain level, I say nine, with 10 being, I would have to be on fire. Feels like a cheese grater on your intestines. I am not even on medication, I guess I need to think about that first but I’m gonna look for some dietary information and if I find some thing I will bring it here to share it with you
@@moxig5717 ive found that diet plays a role, diet and stress. For me, specific foods dont hurt as long as i include 4-5 organic meals in my diet per week

Have you changed your diet at all? I was diagnosed at 23 and was battled with it until I was 26. They had me on multiple meds that worked for a short period of time and then completely stopped working. Rectal mesalamine and cutting out gluten, spicy food and caffeine helped me tremendously.
