Yo everybody, it's been a minute.

Sorry I haven't been as active as I should be. Things have been going well for the past couple years after tapering off pred in Jan 2017. The beast has finally finally reared her ugly head. In the past week or so I have been having more frequency and seeing some mucous/blood. Trying to eat healthy but heading to the state fair tomorrow. Perfect timing. Luckily my check up with my GI is in a couple weeks. Thanks for letting me vent!

Welcome back, but sorry you are flaring again! Hmmm eating healthy at a fair, does deep-fried butter count as a healthy food (has to)! Standard flare protocol, get a stool test for possible infectious causes to your symptoms, get a calprotectin stool test for inflammation (or a C-Reactive Protein blood test) and see where you are at.

Hi...welcome back. Are you having diarrhea or more solid stool? Did you go through a phase of small constipation type stool?

I suggest rectal meds at this point...maybe a mix of steroid alternating with mesalamine.

Enjoy the fair...
