still on the mend, hopefully

Something new.

I'm still going every four days, huge amounts, and it's not too pleasant. It's a sign for me of flaring.

Last night, I went. This morning a HUGE amount of mucous. A little blood that appears to be hemmie related.

Talk to me about the mucous.

enemas going nightly...

Yeah, probably a fissure/hemmie -- frankly, it's all the same to me. Just a non-UC, minor source of bleeding.

Yes, I agree with the steroid supp...but maybe proctocedyl supp would be a better one to use if it's hemmie.

As well, if it's a fissure, you should be able to see it, or it would be on the toilet paper (blood).

The mucous can be a symptom of over production because you're not going often...meaning..in preparation for a larger amount of stool coming so better get prepared.

Hang tough with the enemas.

Do you drink coffee? add some to your diet.

Do you take vitamin C? Add more...

You can also try putting external cream on your anus..either ask the doc for proctocedyl, anusol, or even hydrocortisone. That helps with external and just inside the anus.

Yeah, this is dumping of mucus followed by a huge BM is an issue I haven't read about before. As far as the hemmie/fissure goes, if I don't strain, no blood. If I don't feel the enemas and suppositories are clearing things up, I'll kick it up a notch with a steroid enemas
