Formed stool, mild urgency

" 20mgs of pred"

uh. so what's the rest of the story ? like how did you get to this point ........... etc ?

Congrats on the solid stools!

Do you have any history of hemmeroids as they could explain it?

Occassional blood could be as a result from straining to poop, from slight tears from administering enemas or foams (put a little petroleum jelly on those tips before administering).

Are you getting any tests done to keep tabs on your inflammation, like a CRP bloodtest or a fecal calprotectin stool test? You're still on a lot of steroids (the anucort + 20 mgs of pred) and I'd want to make sure there's not a lot of inflammation still in there...

What's your azathioprine dose? A 150 pound (68 kilogram) individual would be dosed at 136 to 170mgs per day. Have they done a thioprine metabolites blood test to make sure your dosage is correct and you're in therapeutic (ideal healing) range?

iPoop - Thanks! It's oddly satisfying looking down and seeing that as I'm sure most of you could agree! But no, no history of hemmeroids, but I do find myself.straining on occasion to get a little push. Good note for the foams, I will add some lube as well. As for the tests, I was only able to take those stool tests once, calproctectin, unfortunately to come to find out that my insurance won't cover it so I cannot afford it again to track progress. I have had a test done recently to measure aza levels but am still waiting results. I'm 163 pounds currently and on 150 mg of aza. I am curious to see if that is the correct dose.

Soy - I saw my doctor a few weeks ago and that's when we added the rectals to the mix. You're right, obviously something not right in there and needs to be taken care of.

iPoop - so I got the results back and it looks like they might be a little low, like you said. The 6 TG came back at 125 L (I guess should be somewhere above 235?) And 6 MMP came back at 2464. Wat do you think? I'm gonna give the doc a few days to tell me wat she wants me to do. Hopefully increase?
