First it was proctitis in march of 2013. Then UC jan 2014. Now proctitis since July. I think now though more IBS becuase no bleeding

Don't think that way, you can have very active UC without having much or even any bleeding...my mom's UC was pretty active but she rarely ever bled.

I agree with the other poster basically saying that bleeding is far often used too much as a gauge by patients in trying to determine how bad off they think they may be with their disease activity.

Bleeding pretty much tells you that the inflammation has progressed in degrees of extreme fragility to the mucosal lining and maybe the submucosa.

so...the point of caution is to learn what your symptoms actually mean and don't ignore them till you get blatently worse.

A certain illegal plant has been shown to decrease gut motility. When I ingest it, it gives me at least a few hours where the tenesmus subsides for the most part.

Haha. I hope i never suffer with tenesmus again. For me it's the worst. So how are you feeling??!!?? Really you should consider starting 6mp. Because it takes a while to kick in

I know, but now i think i need to find a new gi and get a second opinion. You are doing well on it Soph?

Yes I really am. Where are you from? Because my GI is really out of this world. He goes above and beyond
