Sounds a stupid question, but my partner has had no bleeding for a week. He is still having more bowel movements than 'normal' in the morning and early evening but will he be kept in hospital if the bleeding has stopped?

He is hoping not.

It's impossible to tell since we don't know all of the facts but no bleeding is a good thing.

No bleeding is a good thing, but it doesn't mean he's still not flaring. It does mean that the mucosal layer is healing.

What meds is he on?

Hi,

He's on prednisolone tapering down, balsalzide and having steroid injections today and tomorrow, and he's positive.
