I am being treated for proctitis from a very inflamed rectum. (I also had a colonoscopy and endoscopy a few months ago, but the results weren't too bad. Just a little erosion in my lower intestine. But things seemed to get worse and worse after the procedures...
So I have been taking Proctofoam for a little over 2 weeks. The first week was great. My blood stopped and my cramping pretty much subsided. I didn't have much of a stool, but it was great to feel better and not see blood.
I had a lot more energy.
This last week has been different. I have been getting softer, bigger stool (which occasionally even look normal which is totally new for me), however when I have solid stools it is accompanied by blood again.
It seems that if there is blood then there is cramping to follow after. They seem pretty connected.
I am frustrated because I though I was on the up and up.
Anyone else have a similar experience?
Also, tonite I strayed from my normal, very limited diet (kale chips, turkey, white rice, eggs, salmon, salmon sushi)
and had some fresh fish tacos which were pre marinated/spiced at the market. I also had some gluten free, corn tortillas and a little pico de gallo.
As soon as I started eating, my stomach started its concert of gurgling, etc. It was very quickly followed by a trip to the bathroom which consisted of some blood and strands of stool. I haven't had food go through me like that in awhile. Maybe its because I eat the same simple food all of the time? This is such a confusing, perplexing disease/condition.
Also, I became very feverish as soon as I started eating, and was sweaty afterwards which is kind of unusual for me. Does anyone experience this when eating?
