No way is it back or am I stressed?

Hello everyone. For more than 2 months ive been having some signs of remission with only one bm in the morning. No urgencies no blood no mucus.
Felt good and mostly i had this trust back with my body.

For the last 2 weeks ive been very tired and took a serie of 3 days anti biotics for Urinary track infection plus urine and blood samples.

Just after my 3 days course of antibiotics ive been having a bit of mucus back. And 2-3 bms a day. I lost a bit of that trust with my body and in the evening when I need to fart sometimes i have mucus with it.

This morning i saw a bit of blood. Bright one. But still. Im still on my oral meds 2400mg a day and I took a 3 weeks breaks of rectal meds and started back this sunday. So yesterday got a lot of mucus and bms I thought it was the enema and the liquid.

But now im scared I might be back to where I was. Maybe Im stressed for nothing but i was wondering if the antibiotics contributed to those symptoms.

My last scope shower very mild inflammation and he doc said its fine for twice a week enemas. Should I do a week or two nightly to get back on track?

thanks

The tapering process to do it slowly is for good reason, and to jump to twice a week wasn't a good suggestion considering you still had mild inflammation to the extent you did.

But, we learn, I did it too.

The antibiotics may have set you back a bit, taking probiotics and doubling or tripling is a perfect suggestion.

Don't be scared, just aware. You needed the antibiotics, you just will need to understand what to do the next time....no biggie.

Go on the enemas nightly for at least 3 weeks....taper to every second night for at least the same amount of time.

Up the probiotics

Take fibre supplements.

You're doing great from my perspective....hang tough through this one.

Keep us posted for sure!

Please, please....try not to work yourself up too much about this incident. You've been through a lot in the past 6 months and got out of the last flare quite well.

So you have mucus....that could have been from stress, period ups and downs which you're having, from the antibiotics, from the inflammation that you already had...etc.

It doesn't wound too bad at all....you just have to start all over. Your butt rules, which sucks..lol.

hope you feel much better in a few days....

I don't think it means you are necessarily headed down a bad path. I have had bad days or bad periods of a couple weeks and bounced back. Keep an eye on the symptoms and use rectals. I hope you pull through.

lol...I'm assuming they're not accordian folded to collapse?

What do you mean half a bottle?

You can lube it yourself with K-Y jelly or Aqua-Phor or similar product. Ask your chemist what is available there.
