I have been off pred for about a month now an just taking 100mg 6mp my BM's have become much better very well formed and long nothing like before but I still have trace amounts of blood nothing I would know was there unless I really looked. Is always having some blood ok?

I think whenever there is a blood there is something not right (unless of course it is roids).

It's great there is less of it, but there is still healing to be done so don't change your meds without first talking to your doc.

I've made the mistake of being mostly better, and learned from it.

Usually any sort of bleeding is not favorable. Long term (even mild bleeding) can lead to anemia. What color is the blood? The rectum is usually the last to heal so if you have minor bleeding, maybe a Canasa suppository or even Rowasa or a steroid enema can help stop the bleeding completely.
