Passing blood but no pain with Crohn's Disease


Mon, October 22, 2018 10:10 AM

Hey,


My husband has had Crohn's Disease for two years now and so far has had two flare ups. For the past month or so he has been passing blood in his stools with no pain. Usually he will only bleed when he has a flare up or a particular painful day, but this seems to be constant bleeding with no pain.

ny advice? Has anyone experienced this before? He is going to get checked soon but we are in the midst of moving house at the moment so seeing a doctor is difficult.

Have him get his blood levels checked regularly.  I was passing blood with ulcerative colitis and didn’t know it.  Finally I had my blood checked for another issue and found I was severely anemic.  Had to have five pints transfused.  Eventually ended up having twenty three pints transfused.
