It seems like I pass an awful lot of mucus with my stools. More mucus than anything else. Guess that is the inflammation? Still bleeding too but on a scale of 1 - 10 the bleeding is about a 3. Just wondering if anyone else has this a lot.

My old GI, who I thought the world of, used to downplay mucus, saying "normal" people get it a lot, too, but they just don't examine their poops the way we do!
I always figured visible mucus was the sign of "some" inflammation, enough to just keep a watchful eye.

I am 23 y/o and was diagnosed at 21. In my case, blood and mucus is one of the clear signs of inflammation. I am under remission with VSL#3 and Asacol and the mucus/blood went away.
