Hey guys,
I'm still pretty new to Crohn's, though I've had it for 15 years I have only been treated since December. Anyway, I have been having noticeable rectal bleeding for 2 days. Today it was enough to color the toilet bowl a rusty red color (not the bright red I see when my hemorrhoid is irritated, and MUCH more than it usually bleeds out.
I called my GI but he and his nurse are off today, so I won't hear anything til tomorrow about what to do. I'm panicking a little as bleeding is a relatively new symptom for me. I'm having moderate achy cramps and diarrhea too.
Any thoughts on how bad you let it get before you go into the ER? Trying not to overreact and get $2k worth of bills for something silly.
