Ive been off pred since aug and 6 weeks ago I saw some mucus in my BM. The last 6 weeks I have been seeing some lite bleeding mucus and some lite streaks every few days. This is my first time on meds (asacol) and I have been flaring for 15 years now. Usually by 6 weeks Im bleeding real bad and dealing with great pain and back and forth to the ER. Right now Im just seeing maybe a half tea spoon of blood in my morning BM, if that, sometimes not at all. 2 to 3 formed BM's a day in the AM, and very little discomfort...Im not sure how to view this, its either a new kind of flair or the meds are holding off the dogs. After the last flair almost killing Im a little paranoid...My doctor said she has many patients who bleed lite on and off all year round...Hmm...Any thoughts. Jeff
