A member asked:
If i have ulcerative colitis will my stomach tape larger around when i have a flare i have had it for about 7 years with flare ups off and on?

Maybe : If you have had flare ups of ulcerative colitis in the past then those are better markers for future flare ups. Measuring your abdominal size at your stomach level will vary after you eat, with constipation, etc... Your doctor wants you to have the least flare ups possible so pay attention to any triggers you find like stress, forgetting to take your pills , etc.
