Guest guest Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Hi everyone, I'm having a mild flare and am hoping some of you fellow UC sufferers can give me some advice. As I mentioned earlier, I started having some bleeding a couple of weeks ago. I have since refined my diet back to chicken soup, all well-cooked veggies, easily digestible foods, etc. Since then, the bleeding seems less, but there seems to be more mucus and (not sure how else to put this) " leakage " of fluid, sometimes with a little bit of blood, throughout the day. My stools are still well-formed with 1 or 2 BMs per day (normal for me) and I'm not having any pain or gas. My question is whether the reduction in bleeding and increase in mucus is a positive sign or not. I'm considering starting up my medication (sulfasalazine) again to see if that gets rid of the symptoms and going through the weaning process again, but I do want to give the diet a chance. I'm just not sure how long to wait. Any suggestions?
