If you have mucus and blood, then you are still flaring (not unless the mucus and blood is from something else). You are not fine. I have read of someone's colon going "bad" because her colon was mildly inflammation over many years.
Your doctor probably says you are fine because your condition is not bad enough to warrant strong medication.
Have you asked about
rectal suppositories? If your inflammation is mild, then it might be concentrated in or near the rectum. Rectal suppositories are good at handling that. Most GIs won't mention them because they can't see how someone would prefer using suppositories over oral medication. If you ask, then they are usually more than happy to prescribe them.
Have you tried keeping a food journal to see if your digestive system is sensitive to certain foods?
