hi all,
so i know this is a little random, but i have to ask. do any of you (when you are not flaring...or maybe if you are) get VERY hungry after sleeping? Even just a nap? I wake up ravenously hungry , eat a ton and have no appetite for the rest of the day. While I am not worried about this, I do wonder how "normal" it is. Just putting it out there to see if anyone can relate...

Definitely....but I have no problems with appetite.

I'm an emotional eater which can go either way....stressed or feeling awesome.

What do you eat when you wake-up?

q

*Heather*Status:mini flare June 23* 6asacol daily+ Salofalk (tapered every 4th night)

~diagnosed January 1989 UC (proctosigmoiditis)

~5ASA: Asacol + Salofalk enemas (increase for flares tapered to maintenance)

~Bentylol (dicyclomine) 20mg as needed

~vitamins/minerals

~Probiotic 2 (Natural Factors Protec) + 1 (Primadophilus Reuteri) at bedtime

~Natural Factors Multi Digestive Enzymes with supper

~Ranitidine,Pariet (reflux) Effexor XR 75mg; Pulmicort/Airomir (asthma)

~URSO for PSC (or PBC) 500mg X 2 daily (LFTs back to NORMAL!!)

My doc's logic.. "TREAT (FROM)BOTH ENDS" worth it !!!

Due to the prednisone, I get very hungry right before bed (10pm), not after waking. Don't have much of an appetite throughout the day though for some reason, though I eat anyways to keep from losing any weight.

Currently in mild/moderate flare

2 400mg Asacol 4X day

20 mg Prednisone

100mg Tramadol/day for abdominal pain (as needed)

1 Fioricet ever 4 hrs as needed for severe migraines

i just re-read my post--sorry about all the misspellings/typos!!! usually that is my pet peeve--i don't know why i let that happen. maybe low blood sugar :) usually oatmeal or cooked cereal is what i eat when i wake up, but lately there has been no stopping me...i do oatmeal, fruit, eggs..i am an eating machine!! good thing i want to put on a little weight or this would be quite annoying!
