Possibly: Any inflammatory process or alteration of your gut can flare ulcerative colitis.

Perhaps: Occasionally infections can trigger a flare of ulcerative colitis. But if you're otherwise feeling well with normal blood and stool testing, there is little need to consider changing your treatment.
