Well I decided to put on my big girl panties and do the canasa. I saw the 2nd opinion last week and he said to start them. He said I should not expect things to go away immediately b/c its been irritated for 6 to 7 months now. I have been doing the canasa at night since thursday. Vast improvement and most days no blood at all but a few days I have noticed the tiniest little spot on the paper. The blood was my only real symptom…. he said it was idiopathic proctitis.

Should I be worried that I am seeing this little spot still now and then? OR just be patient and give it time? It is definitely MUCH better than its been for months. Is it possible I could have developed a small fissure and that is whats causing the teeny blood spot on the paper, or is it likely leftover proctitis? This whole thing is making me crazy town! I have never paid so much attention to my poo in my life!

Hahaha - yes! Welcome to Crazy Town, land of UC. yeah

I would give it a little more time - you're having some good results, it sounds like. For some people, they will continue to have a little blood for a while - sometimes it's the last thing to go. I have never had a fissure but I think you would have a lot more symptoms and discomfort if that's what was going on. I am a fan of Canasa.

Worrying definitely doesn't help, so try to take it easy and allow yourself time to heal! I hope it continues to improve - good luck.

thank you!!! turn yes, the dr told me to stop thinking about it, and to try to return to as normal eating habits as possible, while eating healthfully (no hot dogs at the ball park or who knows what else I ate over the past 7 months) to let it heal…

So I will just try to give it time…. so glad to have this here, an outlet and source of info!!
