A member asked:
How are some ways you can get flare ups of ulcertive colitis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several ways: First of all, not taking medications. Secondly, increased levels of stress/not getting enough sleep may also make your symptoms worse. Also additional causes of flares could be due to intestinal infections (C. difficile for example especially if you are immunosuppressive medications).
