Hi, have learned much from this site, thanks. Every time I think blood has totally disappeared, it seems to return for one or two days then disappears again for a week to ten days. I take 6 asacol 2X per day and a Rowasa enema nightly. Have had solid bm's for a while (once or twice a day) and no other ill effects. I just can't seem to rid myself of the occasional blood. Then I wonder how one could tell the difference between bleeding from colitis and from hemorrhoids. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
