Getting over stomach bug and some bleeding

Hi all! Last night I got that gurgly stomach, something is not right feeling. Followed by several hours of liquid d and terrible stomach cramps. The stomach bug is going around our area right now and I have a 5 year old. No throwing up. This morning my bottom is SO sore. I have had some bright red blood when I wipe. No more D this am just lots of gas and occasionally bits of stool or it could be mucous. Bad stomach cramps are gone.

Here's my question....I'm guessing it is hemmies as I have not had a ton of bleeding in the last 3 months. But when would it be safe to restart the rectal meds?

I have been using Rowasa 6 nights a week. Occasionally canasa if I feel like mixing it up. I had a bad flare in November. Came off pred. in Jan and have been dealing w/ some bleeding since then. No D.

Hope all this makes sense and thanks for the help!

Ugh, I feel for you! good things are improving.

How long have you been on the Rowasa at this point...continually 6 nights a week since January?

Could be hemmies or even a fissure.

I would suggest you start probiotics as well.

bright red always means hemms for me... when i'm having UC-related bleeding it's much darker. might want to check with your doc as i know nothing about fissures, but i'd recommend lube for your rectal meds and witch hazel each time you wipe.
