Hello everyone ...

Had CD for a few years now , biggest issues have been passing blood / urgency / need to go a lot ....

about 4 weeks ago , all that stopped .... out of the blue ....

Then my stool has gone to light / bright brown with mucus at the end of it ..... and heartburn ?

Any advice ? Or similar situation ?

Confused to be completely honest

A drastic change of symptoms is usually worth getting checked out, particularly if you've had the previous symptoms for a long time. For me it never heralded anything good, but your case could be completely different. Anyway, I think it's time to pay a visit to your doctor.

Good luck; I hope your disease hasn't got worse :-/

Sounds like your symptoms have changed for the better, but still, you need to get checked. Passing blood would be considered a serious issue. Hopefully, it's resolved, and might have been small tears from hard BM's. Just the same, time for some diagnostics.

I never passed blood and my disease ended up super severe. Blood is usually a result of rectal inflammation; if your Crohn's is higher up than that passing blood is much less likely.

Also stopping BMs was invariably an ominous sign for me. Constipation episodes became much more common when my disease got worse. But the topic creator doesn't mention constipation (or diarrhoea) and so his/her case may be quite different to mine.

Thanks guys

My concern is it isn't a good thing , I've also had a load of eye floaters show up since the change , had these heckled by an optician and an aopthamologist who have both given my eyes the all clear but both knew nothing and were ignorant when I mentioned crohns

So in short , symptoms have changed in a way for the better but I think I'm worse , or I possibly have gall stones !

The mind is a crazy tool and over thinking is driving me crazy
