Hey guys, I have done really well for a few months, today I have been bleeding all day along with urgency and diarrhea. I honestly don't know why. I am hoping Humira isn't wearing off already! That was short if so lol I was hoping for like a year maybe. Obviously longer but you know. Anyway I'm hoping it's something I ate and not that my drugs don't help anymore lol. It's always sad when uc comes to say hi I'm here to terrorize you again

Is it possible you have c diff?

my thought to sudden blood was also c-diff

Yeah that could be possible. Oh man I hope not

If it's any consolation it took me a full year before I started to feel any consistent benefit from Humira. Very up and down prior to that ... But heading in the right direction.

What type of poop is it
Some symptoms of c diff are ( don't need them to be c diff)
Very smelly BMs, very smelly gas, explosive BMs, yellow, stringy, mucousy, bloody, fever, incontinent...

Definitely get stool tests. Also try to stay calm because Humira is not #1 for UC, Remicade is, and I think I remember your insurance wouldn't cover Remicade until after you tried Humira. If something happened, you would have remicade as an option... I would get the stool test ASAP though and try not to worry, they could also increase the dose of humira to weekly but you can't do anything until you're sure it's not something bacterial.

Thank you so much guys. Yes so today I did not experience intensity that I had yesterday. But did have slight blood. Yesterday had a decent amount of blood with urgency but it was controllable. No mucous or yellow, no fever or crazy gas. I honestly don't believe this is c diff, I wonder if it was fluconazole. Or this probiotic I was trying. I get sick with probiotics all the time I have ever used them. So I stopped taking it :/. My gyno put me on a weekly dose of diflucan, because I get tons of yeast infections, I do wonder if that is however dangerous for my gut at at all. My other theory, fresking stress. I am battling very bad anxiety and depression daily. I cannot pull myself from it. I have recently started therapy, but I am still struggling. Unfortunately getting through the day is very difficult for me, I do believe this triggers my gut to react :(
