Bleeding pattern-is this normal?

[chrisnsteph1022]

Obviously, bleeding isn't 'normal', but it's typical with Crohn's. My bleeding seems weird, though. I'll usually pass a pretty decent amount of blood at once, a few times a day. But the rest of the time, there's not a trace. Not even pink when I wipe. Nothing. I could pass a ton of blood when I first wake up, then go again in 30 minutes and it's just diarrhea, no blood. Then the blood comes back in the afternoon and is gone again just as quick. It's not small amounts, either. It's coloring the water in the bowl red. Is that normal (the pattern)?

I used to get this as well, probably once or twice a day I would bleed then nothing for the rest of the day. No idea why. I did get worse and started bleeding everytime. Just make sure you keep an eye on your iron levels
