Thanks for the response, the blood was barely visible on the edges/sides but it's always been a fairly bright red. I hate that I need to ask so many questions, but has anyone experienced uveitis/iritis or bloodshot eyes from Chron's? Today I woke up and I have what looks like a broken blood...

So I managed to calm myself down for the past two weeks, but I still have a few weeks before I'm going in for a colonoscopy. I used a cream for fissures a couple of times that my GI gave me a sample of and it seemed to work(?) maybe. But today I re-freaked myself out again since the blood in my...

It's bright red blood I normally see it a couple of times a month, but during this "session" it's been 3-4 days a week. It's visibly on the outside of the stool and on the toilet paper. While chron's/UC are also terrible diseases the possibility of colon cancer which is super rare at 19 still...

Has anyone tried this product and had positive results? My mom swears by it and says that on days that she forgets it her stomach is a mess. She sent me a bottle of the 800 mg capsules, but I'm a bit reluctant to try it since I'm already on an upswing where I've been feeling better for the past...

I decided to skip the barium enema since it sounded very unpleasant and long compared to a colonoscopy. So I called to schedule a colonoscopy this morning.... they can't get me in for awhile so I'll be worrying in the mean time. The one last thing that I've been worried about is the blood in my...

The doctor wasn't willing to go out on a limb for anything he didn't give me any suggestions as to what's wrong with me. Besides that he thought my constipation was causing me to have fissures+bright red blood. But I still don't have a clue as to why I've been having alternating bowel habits +...

Thanks for all the advice and support I wish there was a general knowledge post or something for FAQ's so I could stop bumping my thread. I got brave and decided to try something spicy today since it seemed like my symptoms were letting up and the pain has been more of an annoyance instead of...

I forgot to add one other thing that is sort of bothering me I've lost about 5-7 pounds in the past 10 days. Should I be worried or should I just assume it's from the diarrhea and then subsequent laxatives to solve my constipation problems? I didn't start weighing myself consistently until my...

I'll have to look into it and see how that works. I'm currently unemployed, but I live alone so I guess I'm still a dependent and financial aid availability will be based off of how much my supporter makes? It seems like I'm on the tail end of whatevers going on though it's been getting less...

It was suggested that I get a colonoscopy if my bleeding doesn't go away within 2 weeks of my sigmoidoscopy. But so far I haven't seen any further blood since my visit on Monday. But I don't have health insurance so I really can't afford a colonoscopy anyway if all I have is an infection or...

Hi I barely know where to start, but basically I'm having trouble getting a diagnosis and my doctors are useless they won't listen to me or even try thinking of what I might have. I'm a 19 year old male who is within normal BMI range, with a bad diet, and not much physical activity. They just...
