bleeding vs mucus vs diarrhea? which one is a serious issue then other

hello,i want to know which one is a serious issue and take longer to recover.bleeding or mucus or diarrhea

thanks quincy.i was symptoms free for 7 days,no blood or mucus or D.then D started again and then mucus and i am on 15 mg pred right now,started from 30 mg then reduced 5 mg per 10 days .can you please tell me whats wrong.is this because of any food or something else.its happening with me since jan,i go symptoms free for some days then they return slowly

i am going 3-4 times and passing stools with dark brown or little red thick liquid.consistency is fine on 3rd or 4th time,i only go in morning

hi Diaven,we all here to get help and help others,so dont worry about anything.sometimes things keep coming back,symptoms disappear for few days then they come back like nothing works,so its just telling us dont feel to happy about your remission LOL.sometimes just diarrhea goes away in 1 or 2 days,same for blood and mucus if have eaten some suspicious food in last few days,sometimes they just appear for no reason.so if you having those symptoms then you can wait for a week or so and if nothing changes then you can go to doctor,sometimes we receive false alert,but like you said watery diarrhea and with blood then you need to go see your doc.and there are more experienced peoples here then me so hope they go through your post and answer you all questions

while flaring,diet never helped me,diet only works after you achieve remission.at a point only meds can help.diet can keep you in long remission of you are lucky enough.just remember meds can do what diet cant do

Good morning. How long is long enough before going in to have flare checked. I go a few days seeming like it's on the mend then it comes back with the watery diarrhea, blood, urgency, etc. I don't mean to interrupt you Sin. Any info is appreciated.

I'm taking 2 Asacol 3 times a day. I know I was advised to start an enema but have done so yet. Not familiar with OTC or prescription or what. I'm so nervous about everything.

Thanks for any kind of information. Again I don't mean to horn in.

I wouldn't get checked out until you have started the enema and given it a couple of weeks. It can be very hard to judge when to get in touch with the doctor, so don't feel bad about not knowing - there's no set answer. But the mesalazines (rectal and oral) can take up to a few weeks to work, so unless your symptoms get much worse in the meantime, I would give it another 2-3 weeks.

everything will be fine Diaven

Soynomore, hi. Will do that. Give it a try anyways. Thanks
