Rectal Prolaps

As my profile says, I'm about six weeks into a relatively mild flare. The amount of mucus and blood has decreased significantly in the last week or two, so I’m hoping that I’m on the road to remission. I haven’t called my GI this time, but I’m thinking I may soon, I’m afraid he’ll prescribe pred which I’ll have to refuse since the last time I took pred it took me a year to resolve the steroid induced diabetes.   My stools are about 30 to 60 minutes in the mornings with maybe 100 CCs of mucus/blood and maybe half that of poo, then after my post lunch poo, they reduce to an hour or two with very little mucus and half inch by two inch bloody turds (one per session). It feels like my inflammation is confined to my rectum and my most common complaint to my wife is “My pooper hurts”.   Every time I go, I have to stuff myself back in; and I thought that was caused by protruding hemmies, but in poking around on the web, I’m beginning to think it might be rectal prolaps. Searches here and on the Crones Forum revealed only two people who complained of prolaps in association with IBD, one with UC and the other with Crones, so it doesn’t seem to be very common.   So I thought I’d ask; anybody have rectal prolaps? Is it more common that it appears?
