In the event you’ve reached remission for ulcerative colitis, you most likely want to do anything to remain there. Factors to remember during remission include: Stress level: Stress may lead to a flare-up. A good night's sleep, regularly exercising, and working on your stress management could minimize your chances of a flare-up. Medications: For fever or pain, you may consider taking acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) instead of Motrin or Advil (NSAIDs) since acetaminophen shouldn’t trigger symptoms. Talk with your physician for more information. Medication change: If your current medications are resulting in GI issues, get in touch with our team. We may want to swap it out for a medication less likely to cause a flare-up.
