Hi all
I haven't been on the forums for a month, back then I started having some mild symptoms and I was asking for suggestions. Since then, in addition to my standard meds I had some prayer and added daily powdered potato starch to my diet (30g) and got into a routine of taking slippery elm bark powder 30 mins before each meal. Also started eating Sunbutter, which I like. That combo seemed to work really well and I've been enjoying remission since then. As you all know, it's amazing go back to full health and I've learned to appreciate it!
Yesterday, no BM All day, which is fine cos I either go once a day or once every two days. This morning I wake up with a full bowel, BM is a bit loose but nothing worrying then all of a sudden constant trips to the toilet, mostly blood water and mucus. I've learned to listen to my body and suspect I have some inflammation confined to the sigmoid with some bleeding in that area at the moment but I'm just really surprised how in one day I can go from perfect poopin... to bleeding from my behind? Hoping it's just a momentary setback as I'm working from home at the moment to be on the safe side. I didn't make any dietary changes so it's nothing I've eaten. One thing thing I can think of that's changed is some emotional stress recently. I've had some ups and down in life that took their toll on Saturday and I wonder if that would be enough to trigger some symptoms.
Anyhow, is this a case for rectal meds? I live in the UK and I'm currently on Mesavant XL 4.8g
