Pregnant - on salofalk foam - flare up?

Hey,

So after using salofalk foam for a week and a half now, the last couple of days I have begun to notice clots of blood when I go to the toilet. Is this normal?
The doctor said the foam will take at least 2 weeks to notice a difference however, I didn’t think that symptoms would get worse.

The same happened when I was on suppoitries, I had a couple of weeks without blood then it started again.

I have also really been trying to watch what I eat, avoiding all the things I have read should be avoided.

Being 34 weeks pregnant I am finding this all very hard a distressing as my symptoms started at 15week preg and I have never had any issues prior to this.

I wouldn’t class my symptoms as severe. Main symptoms are some days I feel the constant need to go toilet - even if i don’t. I lean very often even when I sit down to go for a wee, bleeding.

The diahorrea seems to have passed except for in the odd occasion.

I do have haemmoroids too (sorry TMI) but I do see the difference between the colour and texture of the blood.

Any advise on what more I can do? Do you think I need to be more patient for the foam to work?

I am on 2 doses on the foam but have been advised to do 2x1g in one go in the evening. I did try splitting them up but I found it far too uncomfortable in the day plus, I am having problems with some foam leaking out when I wake up so found if I don’t it in the day it would just leak.

I am having proper bowel movements everyday or every other day but I am also experiencing little bowel movements that just come throughout the day (I sit down and some just comes out). It’s not loose anymore and rarely get diahorrea. This is obviously an improvement but the fact the blood clots keep coming back and the leaking is concerning me.

Yes, before the blood used to fill the toilet bowl, then the blood subsided when I started medication. Now I seem to notice it when I wipe I have clots

Sometimes yes, my main concern is the clotting. Very often mucus in stool aswell
