I dont know what to think..so for the last month on and off there will be streaks of blood on either stool or tp..i started smoothies and was never able to tolerate fruits before..my stools r perfect but im really gassy so im assuming its pressure..im not sure what to think about the bleeding..there is no mucus or diahhera or cramps...i started cortifoam and im on humira so not sure its my fissure or hemmrhoid..i do have dilitizam i could use...my outside rectum is sore and yes there is a bump and can see where my fissure was...does it take a long time to heal the bleeding that is my concern..dont think its a flarw but who knows..

Have you been eating donuts and pasta again, msm?

I see from your profile you have UC but, how long ago did you have surgery? Do you have hemorrhoids -- internal, external or both?

Nope gluten intolerant.

Never had surgery...

I have no idea if its hemmrhoid or fissure..

Hello,

I too am on Humira and 100mg of 6mp. But I also don't have diarrhea, or urgency or mucous but have strips of blood on my poo or dripping blood. But stool is formed? I have come to kind of accept this as just being the colon needing time to heal. I know I do have some internal hemi's also but I had a flex sig a few weeks back and my doc said the bleeding was from both. I was awake with no sedation so I could see. And in fact it was both.

I always thought that what I ate had an impact but the longer I have this disease I really don't think it does for me.

I have a similar issue -- everything is fine except I see blood every few days. When this flare first started (June 2014) my stools were more frequent (2-5 times/day) and were soft & only semi formed. The stool frequency/consistency didn't really bother me a lot, but the blood did. It was a good bit of blood nearly every day back then and scope in October confirmed a flare. Did a course of pred over the summer that made the blood go away temporarily but it came back. Blood slowed down when I was on Uceris (Oct-Dec) but it never went away. Now my stool is completely back to normal 1-2 times a day, fully formed, but I am still seeing blood. It's not nearly as much as I had before, but any blood says there is something wrong to me. I just switched to Colazal last week & dr said to give it 2-4 weeks. I feel like I am so close to remission but something is just taking forever to heal and it's worrisome.

I have no suggestions for you -- if it doesn't clear up or gets worse, you probably should contact your dr.

How long have you been on Humira? My dr mentioned it as a possible option, but I am very scared of biologics. Have you had any problems with it?
