Confusing..

Hello,

I've had UC for about three years now. On the 16th I went in for a colonoscopy and found out I had a lot of ulcers in my colon which was a step back from my last one which found almost none. The doctor changed my medication from lialda to asacol which I took when I was first diagnosed with UC. I've been noticing the last few days that I'll go to the bathroom and have normal stool; and then go 2-3 more times where my stool is little pieces of normal colored stool with some red (almost dry blood). On the paper when I wipe, it's a light brown mixed with a very light red. Now this worries me because Idk if I'm flaring up or if it's just something I ate. I have not seen any actual blood in the toilet (bloody water) or actual real read on the toilet paper. Should I be worried?

P.S: I'm 22 and the reason for my step back was because for a while I felt fine. I started cheating with foods and essentially stopped my medication when I ran out. I learned my lesson, so please take your medication don't ever stop taking it and as always watch what you eat.

Thanks and good luck to everyone.

If you had stopped your meds, but lialda had been working, why switch to asacol. Did you tell your doc you had run out.

I get lazy with my meds too the better I get. It's hard to stay on them.

I was prescribed Asacol when I first was diagnosed. This is when I had my first real flare up and was going to the bathroom up to 20 times a day. After improvement in my colonoscopy my doctor changed my medication to lialda. After this most recent fall back in my colonoscopy he decided to put me on the meds he first started me off with. I'm taking the pill 3 times a day. Thanks a lot for your responses.
