Blood in toilet

[Samia]

Hi everyone
I'm new here but i've hadcrohn'sfor 3 and a half years now. I've been onHumirasince February this year and it was going well but i started to get unwell again so I started on some prednisone. It has been about a week and a half and blood is literally dripping out the last two times i went to the toilet. The toilet water is bright red. Has anyone experienced that problem before? There isn't really much pain, except a little constipation. I'm freaking out a little.

Sorry you are not feeling well. Are you still having other symptoms as well? Did you have other test/labs to determine if there was inflammation going on? I would call the GI.

Thankfully no other symptoms, just lots of blood.

I have. If it's happening with constipation, it could be a hemorrhoid. Do you have any pain? Is it bright red?

Talking with your GI doc is certainly in order but I wouldn't worry too much. Blood in the toilet does not necessarily mean a flare-up, especially when teamed up with constipation.

Be very careful when straining. That can make it worse.
