i as diagnosed with AC in march this year after having colonoscopy in january. When the consultant saw me he explained what i had but didnt tell me much more. He gave me a precription for Asacol and told me to have a blood test in a weeks time. He Said he would see me again in a years time . That was the last i heard from him until my GP surgery rang me to say that that in had a prescription from the consultant for Adcal D3. I have had no guidance both from my GP or consultant since and i have suffered another three flare ups since i was diagnosed. This partucular flare up has so far lasted four days and i wondered if anyone took time off work with this and how long these flare ups last? Also should i be following any sort of diet and how will i find out what triggers these attacks? Do i have to contact my GP to have some allergy tests done or do i just fathom it out by myself?
i would be very grateful if somebody could give me few pointers please.
