Blood in stool with ileal CD?

[Mazen]

I have my Crohn's in the last part of teh terminal ileum (about 15 cm). I never had any blood in stools before, but I have been noticing for a while that about once a month I see streaks of blood in my stool. i read on the net, and they say that Crohn's in the ileum doesn't usually have blood in stools? So anybody out there who also has Crohn's in terminla ileum see any blood in their stools?

I would call your doctor. I had a good amount of blood in my stool for about a week and my doctor put me on medication that cleared it up. I'm not sure if its normal, but I'd def call your GI.

The color of the blood is important. If it is black or dark, it is probably coming from stomach or small intestine. If it is red, anal fissure or hemoroid may cause bleeding.
You had better go to a doctor.
