Today i took one acidophilus pearl and about an hour later i started having diarrhea and bleeding. Ive been flaring for about a week with abodominal pain and formed stools. I always have urgency. Yesterday i started noticing mucosl. Im freaked out about the bleeding because i havent had bleeding with my uc in over a year. I confused as to if it was already coming on or if the acidohilus pearl could cause diarrhea and bleeding that quick. I went to my md today for the start of this flare and he wants me to go get a second opinion in UCLA since my gi told me two mnths ago after my scope i was in remission. He prescribed Paxil for depression. Any input or advice will be greatly appreciated.

I know that Tabitha (tjf) uses the pearls with no problem.

What a miserable situation! Sometimes flares pop out of nowhere for no reason.

When is your second opinion at UCLA?

Pan-colitis and GERD diagnosed May 2003

Asacol 12 per day, Azathioprine 75mg, Rowasa and Canasa as needed

Aciphex, Effexor XR, BCP, Rhinocort nasal spray

Forvia and a Probiotic

Osteopenia (hip and spine) from prednisone use. Started Azathioprine because I was steroid dependent.

Yep I have been taking acidophilus pearls for awhile now (over a year I believe). No problems for me. Hmmm it sounds like it was just the flare but I guess there is no way to know for certain. What meds are you on?

Tabitha (Tab)

100mg Azathioprine, 2 Fibercon, Colazal-6 a day, Acidopholis Pearls, Prilosec OTC
