Ulcerative Colitis
Related Topic
I've started flaring a month ago. Was going to toilet 6-10 times a day. But 4 days ago it suddenly stopped. I'm bloated, feel like I'm going to burst. I know that I'm full and it needs to come out but if I sit on the toilet it's like my colon has no sensation to push anything out. I'm not sure if it's all just stopped working. I can hear some bubbles move around every now and then but have only passed a small amount of gas. I live in a remote town. We have a hospital but I feel silly to go to the hospital for constipation but worry that it might be more than constipation. 2 days before the sudden stop in bowel movement the urgency came with very thin, long poos. Took a lot of effort to get out. With the usual blood and mucous. I'm too scared to take something to soften the stools as I can't see that the stool would be big. I really think the inflammation has made it all stop working? -

Ulcerative colitis is a complex disease. I would suggest you see your GP or visit the hospital if there has been a change in symptoms. The treatment is usually more effective if initiated early.
