In the event you’ve obtained remission for your ulcerative colitis, you most likely do anything you can to remain in remission. A few things to remember while you’re in remission are: Stress: Stress may lead to symptoms coming back. Getting a good night’s sleep, regular exercise, and learning how to manage your stress might minimize your chances of further symptoms. Medications: If you have fever or pain, you should consider using acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) rather than an NSAID like Motrin or Advil because acetaminophen shouldn’t exacerbate symptoms. Talk with your healthcare provider for further information. Change in Medication: If you notice your medications are resulting in symptoms, get in touch with our team. We may be able to make a change in your medication for something less likely to lead to a flare-up.
