As a new "diagnosee" myself of Crohn's Ileitis (which means an inflamed ileum) I have been taking Plavix, a blood thinner now for the past ten months, as I had sustained a heart attack in late October of last year. Now, as my symptoms are (thus far) mild, basically experiencing predominately, malaise, intestinal cramping and diarrhoea, the latter has not been bloody. My concern is "down the path". Being on a blood thinner, and experiencing periodic inflammation, wouldn't that be a recipe for bloody stools and the runs?
Thanx.
