Diagnosed with UC (proctitis) in March 2023. Symptoms going back as far as 2014.

Have been on Mesalamine (oral and suppository) since the diagnosis. I’ve also been taking fiber supplements and daily 8mg of Imodium. And a few months ago when we checked my calprotectin levels, they had gone down from 833 to 75. I’ve not had a flare since January 2024.

So I had hoped that my colonoscopy yesterday would show some improvement. The biopsies aren’t back yet but they’re not seeing much improvement in the colon lining.

Just in a period of burn out that I’m sure we all experience at some point with a chronic illness. Hopefully I’ll try something new and we’ll see if we can get the colon lining to start repairing itself.
