Hello,
Severe Ulcerative colitis is commonly treated with Azathioprine or cyclosporin but a regular follow up with your doctor is a must. You are already being treated with Humira.
For pain associated with Ulcerative colitis you can take antispasmodics(Dicylomin - Spasmoproxyvon) & antacids & PPIs, Pantoprazole - 40mg for relieve.
If you do not get relieve you may need intravenous injections & fluid support. Get admitted, get treated.
Stay away from food poisoning, infections like giardiasis that causes diarrhea. Take homemade food stay away from junk food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
