So I had a flare of my UC start in August and finally got into the GI and started 5 weeks of pred in September. Now, this flare did not have all my original UC symptoms, i mainly had pain and a little blood on the toilet paper but thats it - no diarrhea, no major weight loss, etc. I just finished the pred this past week, and my belly is already starting to act up again. The pain is back, although not as bad as it was when I started the pred, along with some cramping, a little blood, and looser stools (not quite diarrhea though). I am hoping it is the fact that I am eating a variety of foods again or maybe a little too much Halloween candy but my gut feeling is that its the flare coming back. I have a follow up with the GI next week so obviously I will be asking them, but until then, any advice or suggestions? Is it weird that the symptoms would come back so quickly?
