    Anybody on Uceris?

    So, my last fecal calprotectin numbers are in... Normal range less than 30. My score 230. Well, poopie. Now my GI wants me to start on Uceris and I have no idea anything about it and I'm certainly not excited to begin a steriod based drug in pregnancy...especially since I already look like I...

    WTF did you say?

    My oh so supportive knight in shining armor husband called me a "faker".

    Ongoing struggle

    First post...just was fortunate enough to find this sight a few days back. My symptoms started when I was pregnant with my 3rd child. Diahrrea, bloating, mucus, bleeding a few dozen times a day. I chalked up all the issues to the pregnancy; I gave birth to a healthy 9 pound boy. Between...
