anyone else experience this?

So it's been a long road for me and I am making progress but I have a question for anyone to respond.  I have been having formed stools...some thin and narrow, but no D and not any real other issues except gas during the night.  The question I have is that some of the stools have little flecks of blood....not alot, but definatley there.  Some days none, some days it is more noticeable.  I have not had a scope in 8 months.  Should I be concerned?  I was hoping it could be Hemmies, but since its wrapped up in the stool I did not know.  Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Sounds like you are still flared up quite a bit inside. All I know is I bleed a lot when I was taking Asacol and Colazal, soon as I stopped Colazal and switched to a low dosage of Sulfa, the bleeding stopped, but I also started to watch what I ate and took anti-inflammation supplements as well. Don't be surprised if some of them drugs are the cause of your bleeding, but most doctors won't believe you if you tell them.

I always had a little blood, even when I was feeling good. It was the best I could do, until the Remicade put me in remission, And I'm talking about all these many years, that was the case.

I also have mistaken bits of asacol shell for blood, so agree that might be what you see!

When my symptoms go from watery stools / d / and mucous to having formed stools, my hemorrhoids get worse because I am pushing harder....so I get a little blood on the paper...sometimes a lot of blood, depending on how bad they are... even though the stools are narrow you are pushing harder than when blowing out mucous. could very well be asacol shell bits in the stool itself, and residual blood from the roids on the paper?
