[url]Hi. I am on Stelara and have been on it for about a year. For about the last 3-4 months my stools have been at level 6 on the Bristol stool chart with very occasional (not much) blood. I am not having any cramping or pain really. I have noticed extreme fatigue, an increase in my headaches and muscle/bone type aches. Any ideas as to what is causing this? In the past when my UC has been bad I have gone back and forth with constipation-normal-loser stools along with blood and mucous all the time.

I was previously on Remicade which managed the UC but very sadly gave me Lupus.

When was your last scope? Have you had recent blood tests?

I have one next Friday. No recent blood tests. I will portal message them today. Going to get some B12 and get in more D. I eat mainly plant based and not sure if that is causing issues also?
