@nikolai57 Thank you! Flatulence has been awful, so I’ll try backing off the probiotic. How long do you use Mesalamine daily for flare ups? I eat a lot of vegetables and fruit but not prunes. I appreciate your sharing. Looks like you take Mesalamine until symptoms subside.

@jime51 I start Mesalamine as soon as I see blood in my stool. I continue for a day or two after it has subsided. I try to avoid flare-ups by keeping stool soft and avoiding constipation. If I do become constipated, I do my best not to strain. Pulling the stomach up and in without pushing down can help move the bowels without straining.
