Can anyone help me understand if my new anxiety symptoms are related to my UC
I developed UC around a year ago and was diagnosed around 6 months ago. Since diagnoses I was put on Mesalazine granules but then changed to Mesalazine suppositories as my UC is developed in my rectum. Generally I'm quite lucky with my symptoms in that even during a flare up the common symptoms are much more manageable in comparison to other people.
About 3 weeks ago, a week into a flare up, I started getting what feels like when you have anxiety in your gut. Nothing's changed about my life or routine that should make me feel anxious and I don't feel it so much in my head. I cant find a real reason to feel anxious but my body still feels it, if that makes sense.
If it's a symptom or UC it's new to me but its really starting to bother me. It's affecting my appetite and making me feel withdrawn from people. Can UC cause this physical feeling of anxiety like this? Might I feel better after this flare up?
Feeling a bit lost so would love some input if anyone can spare the time
