If you have: Uc and develop new GI symptoms such as pain, diarrhea that is different or more frequent, or blood in the stool then contact your treating gastroenterologist for advice. If you don't carry the diagnosis but suspect it then make an appointment with a gastroenteroligist for exam and possible colonoscopy with biopsies.

Change in bowels: Everybody is different but you'll come to recognize your early symptoms of a flare-up. Usually moderate-severe abdominal pain and/or bloody stools are reasons to call your doctor.
