Guest guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hi all, I'm hoping those of you with UC can help me understand what's happening to me. I've been on SCD since July '07 and completely off meds since July '08. I have followed strict SCD except that in November, I started eating slow-fermented sourdough bread, which I know is not SCD legal, but it seemed possible that I might be able to tolerate it. I have eaten it at the rate of about one loaf per month since with no symptoms. In the last couple of months, I have relaxed my fanaticism a bit and ate about 2T of brown rice a month ago; about 1/2 c. of some cream butternut soup in a restaurant about 2 weeks ago; had surgery and took some Advil and 3 Tylenol with codeine tablets ... in a nutshell - I've ingested several amounts of illegals but nothing major in addition to the bread over the past month. About 2 weeks ago, I had a trace of blood and some mucus. Early this week, I had another trace of blood but no mucus, and since then I am seeing small traces of blood each morning. My stools are still totally fine and I am only having one BM per day with no urgency, bloating or other symptoms. I am back to 100% fanatical, eliminating advanced foods (not quite back to intro) and am hoping this will clear things up. But - I'm wondering if others with UC have had this happen where blood is the only symptom. Is this the beginning of a flare? I didn't ever really have what I would call flares prior to SCD - just very loose stools. Loose stools were also the symptom I got when I went into new foods too fast when starting the diet, but I haven't had that at all. Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts?
