If you have obtained remission for ulcerative colitis, you will likely do anything you can to remain symptom-free. Factors to remember while you are in remission include: Stress: Stress can cause your symptoms to come back. Quality sleep, regular exercise, and stress management might reduce your chance of recurring symptoms. Change in Medication: If your current medication seems to trigger GI issues, please get in touch with our team. We could potentially swap it out for something less likely to cause a flare-up. Medications: If you have pain or fever, you might consider taking acetaminophen such as Tylenol instead of an NSAID like Motrin or Advil, as acetaminophen is less likely to ignite your symptoms. Talk with your healthcare provider for more information.
