Reducing medication - bloating!

Hello, first time poster with Colitis, I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing/has any tips!

I’ve just reduced my Salofalk Mesalazine granules (from 3g to 1.5g) and since then certain foods which have previously been absolutely fine have been making me sooo bloated and uncomfortable. I’m wondering whether that is just a coincidence or if anyone else has experienced the same kind of thing?

  1. Hi . Your anxiety about these symptoms returning is certainly understandable. I can't personally speak to this issue, but I did find this article on predictive factors for relapse with reduction of mesalazine: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8336875/. Has your doctor had any thoughts on this new issue with previously o.k. foods? Hopefully others will chime in with their experiences. Please feel free to keep us posted on how you are doing and to ask additional questions. Best, Richard (Team Member)
