I started having some LLQ pain a few weeks ago which I've never had before. My CD is in the terminal ilium so I always have LRQ pain when I'm flaring. I have tapered down to 10mg Pred but with school starting back up I started to flare again. Back to 10x a day in the bathroom (which I know isn't a lot compared to a lot of you :P) and I've been having some proctitis, the LLQ and LRQ pain, lots of mucus in the stools and more blood than I am used to. I noticed the other day that my antidepressant pill was in the toilet...whole :( Of all the pills to not digest.... Well I was going to bring it up to the GI when I see them on the 5th but just now when I went to the bathroom there was sausage on the tp...actual chunks of sausage from the links I ate last night. I am a little concerned now because I've never had trouble digesting food unless it was something like corn. I was feeling pretty crappy this morning and I had to go to my internship so I sucked it up and bumped myself back up to 20mg of Pred. I called to see if I could get into the GI sooner but they haven't had any cancellations. I am going to start a low residue diet tonight but I just don't know what is going on with me. Anyone ever have any changes like this before? My CD has been pretty consistent for the last 3 years so changes are a little scary to me.
