Suggest Treatment For Ulcerative Colitis

Hello, I am a 67 yr old woman, I am on remicade for ulcerative colitis (infusion every 8 weeks) very active, very holistic and eat fairly well...lots of h2o. However I am also eating a lot of chocolate bars...really candy to keep energy up. My Gastro Doc put me on Creon knowing I take digestive enzymes, I m on prednisone 5m for pain in muscles and joints from drug induced lupus, synthroid 125mcg (30 yrs), duloxetine 60 for depression and pain. 3 weeks ago I began having serious hot flashes. I can not be outside in the heat at all without really having problems. Feels very hormonal though went through changes years ago. I can be sitting in an a/c room and have them one right after the other. Any ideas? Thank you, Lin Ford

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the Gastro-intestinal pathology and some functional elements are then it is advisable to come our of the stress, and stay away from the stress, because the stress is the main reason which could cause the ulcer, else it is nothing to worry but just come out of the stress only hope this information helps.
