So I had a little bit of Chipotle (with chicken and mild salsa) last night and I just spent 20 minutes on the toilet. It was so painful. I know I shouldn't eat foods with any spiciness, but I just love spicy food! And I also so a little bit of red on the TP! That could be the salsa, right? I'm so paranoid now...


(Oh, and I switched to Asacol from Colazal a couple weeks ago to see if that helps with hair loss)

Lol I getting pinkish red spots in my poo every time I eat beets and it freaks me out. I guess it could be the salsa, but tomatoes usually don't change poo color. Did you eat anything else that could do it, or do you have hemmies/fissures?

I wonder if remicade could be causing your hair loss, I DOUBT it's the 5-ASAs.

I'd say you're still flaring anyway....and if it was 20 minutes just after you ate it...it wasn't the Chipotle, but if it came out this morning..yeah, it could add some insult to injury. The bits of red could be tomato in the stool...but if it was smeared RED...I'd say blood.

I had Salsa with red corn chips last night before supper and this morning, there was some redder looking stool, but nothing on the toilet paper. No pain, however...it normally wouldn't bother me or change intensity if I'm flaring, because painful poos are normal if I'm flaring...yeowie!

You should, however, try rectal meds...please consider them asap.

Try not to be paranoid..it won't make your flare worse.

quincy...major supporter of rectal meds!

this reminds me of that south park episode. what you need is chipotlaway, it will change your life.

pretty much, chipotlaway was a product used by eric cartman to remove the blood stains from his underwear after eating chipotle.

Well, I didn't see any blood in the actual stool--just a bit on the TP. Maybe it's just a minor fissure from the straining this morning.

I have been in remission since January, so I wasn't flaring before. And my UC doesn't get worse with food (or at least hasn't yet), but it does affect my IBS. Maybe I just overreacted...But if I see any more blood tonight or tomorrow, I'll give a call to my GI to order some rectal meds.

Hair loss isn't an official side effect of Remicade. And even if it was, I wouldn't stop it--I prefer to keep my colon! I never had hair loss when I was on Asacol previously, so I thought it might be worth a try.

Haha, I haven't seen that episode of South Park. But I will never be eating Chipotle again!

OK, bookworm, be honest. Did you dress like a burrito to get a free one??

(There must have been 200 people in the line at our shopping center yesterday)

Hopefully you are just having the normal reaction to eating that food!!

Haha, no I didn't. My dad actually got it for me and he had no idea about the free burritos!


I haven't a BM today (probably b/c I emptied everything out yesterday...) but I'm thinking the red was just a fluke. Or at least I hope so.

Funny Chipotle is one of the things I consider safer to eat when I'm feeling bad. I just get chicken, rice, cheese and lettuce - nothing spicy.
