I've had UC for 2 yrs now and everytime i use the bathroom to have a BM there's always mucus first, then my stool, and at the end of my stool theres some blood or even maybe a blood clot ball thingie...  IF that makes any sense!  Everytime I wipe, there blood, but it's faded...  Why and where is it coming from?  GI has no clue????  GO figure, right!!!!  Im on 3 colazal two times a day!!!  Im taking some natural times too...  Primal Defense and Liquid Oxy Aloe (Hydrogen Peroxide), Probiotics too with some Pysillium HUsk...

  I believe I have some yeast problem, but the docs dont...  I have yeast spores on my face.  Ive had a biopsy...  Follicular Candidasis (SP?)  So, who knows, but the mucus and blood consistently for about 2yrs is scary to me!!!!   THanks

Did the GI do a flex sig or (sp?) to see what is going on in there or where the blood/mucus coming from?

Freakzilla, when I see blood and mucus, I think flare. Sounds to me as if the Colazal may not be doing the whole job. I echo Ash, have you had a scope lately to see what's going on?

I don't think it's a good idea to ingest hydrogen peroxide!!

ARe you recenty off from pred?

Start some rectal meds as well...

Why don't you start a regimen to lower yeast in your digestive tract if that's what you're believing? or have you already?

I had a scope in March 2007... He wont do another one b/c it would be to close together... Anyways, The Hydrogen Peroxide I'm gonna finish. I take very little of it. I wanna give it a chance! I take probiotics and enzymes, and Pysillium husk, but sometimes I use the bathroom alot, then there's times it's just blood and mucus. So, where is my food going, cause I eat alot!!!!! Also, there's been white stuff in my BM along with stringy white things... WHo knows???

I don't understand why you are taking Hydrogen Peroxide? It has a clear link to UC and they use it to trigger UC in lab animals. Google Hydrogen Peroxide and Ulcerative Colitis and you see heaps of pages. I think it would go a long way to explaining your current problems.

The reason behind me taking that is because I think my UC started b/c of a yeast (Candida) problem... Alittle over two years ago, I got very sick suddenly. Got rushed to the hospital with no answers. Had diarehha (Sp?) and throwing up. Went away for about a week, then everything hit me and never went away. All these other problems arose; fatigue beyond belief, the stomach problems, skin problems, occcuring yeast infections (Under my arm pits, on my face, in my hair), ringworm on my neck, joint and muscle pains, lost 25 pounds, white tongue, always sick with colds, cough, eye twictching and blurriness, my hair grow's wierd now, rough, dry skin.... I've never had any problems before this, honest... Ever since this happened, my life has been sooooo stressful, I don't know what I want to do anymore... IT's insane.. ITs effected me like no one could believe! I would never have imagined me being like this in this position if I could have predicted my future 3 years ago! My moods are all over the place... Almost like I'm bi-polar!!! So, the Hydrogen Peroxide is suppose to make a great difference with any yeast problems! I have done much research and I understand that you have to be careful, but I've also read many good things about it, thats why I want to give it a shot for a bit.... Im just confused alittle about this all.. Thanks

I know you don't feel well and are really stressed but please try to think calmly about this.  Researchers put hydrogen peroxide in the digestive system of lab animals to make them develop UC - ie. the lab rats get blood and mucous.  You are ingesting hydrogen peroxide and then you seem to be wondering why you have blood and mucous.

You really aren't meant to take hydrogen peroxide orally.  This article from the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry says that even weak solutions "even a 3% solution is mildly irritating to mucosal tissue and may cause vomiting and diarrhea."

http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/Mhmi/mmg174.html#bookmark05

UC is all about our damaged mucosal tissue - we really don't want to damage it any further.

I've done a quick search and there are sites around saying that it can cure anything (even AIDS!?!) but snopes.com did some thorough research into these claims and they say don't take it orally as it damages mucous membranes.

http://www.snopes.com/medical/homecure/peroxide.asp

If you feel that yeast is your problem then I'm sure some people on this board can help you out with some diets and non-toxic supplements.  Some people have had great success with anti-fungal type treatments.  I'm just saying lay off the hydrogen peroxide, it obviously isn't helping you if you still have blood and mucous, plus it has the potential to make things a lot worse for you.

Hope you feel better soon.

I've had left side UC for five years. I'm allergic to prednisone so that's out of the question and there's no way I'm going to take Humera or any of the harsh drugs doctors try to give us for this awful disease. I found out through a stool study that I have systemic candida Krusei strain and I truly believe that candida overgrowth in my colon is what caused my colitis because it started directly after being on antibiotics every day for several years to treat Lyme Disease. If it's true, and I believe that it is, that candida caused my UC so in my case, UC is a candidal infection. I recently started using food grade hydrogen peroxide and I'm having mini flares. My functional medicine doc believes it's due to toxins being released from the therapy and that it will subside. Typically my UC is under control because I eat very clean, lots of greens, all organic, and I take 100 Billion strength probiotics every day, flax seed in my meals, and I'm gluten free 100% of the time. I don't take drugs as a band aid, I treat my UC with nutrition and supplements. Diet makes a huge difference for me. I'm sticking with the HP therapy because I believe in time I may be cured. I take 3 drops of food grade HP in a glass of purified distilled water, three times a day to be increased over time. It doesn't taste like anything to me.

You say a lot here that might be worth discussing. But why put it on and 8 year old thread?

You don't mention mesalamines, and I am not sure "harsh" is the right word for biologics. They are serious med though.

The whole drugs as band aid, while nutrition is not a band aide make no sense to me. It sounds confused.

Not sure about HP. Does not sound like something I would want to ingest.

I am not a big believer in "getting worse in order to get better" way of thinking. If something new makes me worse I quit it and go back to basics. Later, if I still want to test it I'll try it again for a day or 2, if any questionable symptoms appear it is gone like the wind.

The toxins and Herxheimer playing out until you get better plan does not work for me. I listen to my gut and that goes for RX as well as non-RX treatments. Current UC RX may indeed be a bandaid because it's not a cure but Bandaids are useful, I use them all the time and they are effective (not using metaphor here, I like Bandaids).
