More cramps and mucus... What do I do?

[ibdoer]

Hey guys. I have been pretty good lately but for the past three days Ive been getting more and more crampy, and in the mornings when I sit on the toilet I release my morning flatulence and I get some mucus that shoots out.
Luckily there is no blood as of yet. What do you think I should do? I am on a half dose of Apriso (mesalamine). Should I bump it up for a few days? Should I call my GI? Should I wait and see if I get better again?

PS: 2-3 BM's a day (well-formed).

Is your mesalamine an oral med or an enema?
Are you taking anything orally?

i would give your GI a wee call and just run it past him, it may be that you might be at the start of a flare and if you act now you may nip it in the bud so to speak...

Yes my mesalamine is taken orally. My doc says the Apriso pills are good for crohn's colitis (rectum area) which is where mine is concentrated.
I called my GI doc today. Gonna go see him this Friday. I'll give an update. Thanks.

You could ask your doctor for an antispasmotic, helps with some cramps and mucous. Your doctor can help you. Good luck.
