Could really do with some advice for my 14 year old son. Diagnosed with UC 6 months ago and Currently takes 4.8g octasa. Original symptoms were chronic fatigue, abdominal pain and evertually passing bloody stools. Symptoms have improved but he still passes blood in his stool on occasion every other week. Is this really ok? Surely passing any blood is a sign of inflammation and that the octasa isn’t working well enough? Or is this acceptable? Just don’t know enough and dr not very talkative! Any info appreciated

I'm not a doctor, but I can offer some general insights. While I can't provide medical advice, the presence of blood in the stool may indeed indicate ongoing inflammation in UC. It's important to maintain an open line of communication with your son's doctor and discuss the persistence of this symptom. They may need to adjust the treatment plan or explore other options. Consistent monitoring and a supportive diet may also be beneficial. Download: PC/Windows and CS:GO case simulators are unrelated to this medical concern, so please focus on your son's health with your healthcare provider.

It's essential to communicate openly with your son's healthcare provider about his symptoms and any concerns you may have. They can evaluate his condition, conduct further tests if needed, and potentially adjust the treatment plan accordingly. They may also provide information on lifestyle modifications, dietary subway surfers considerations, or other supportive measures that can complement the medical treatment.

If you're experiencing external bleeding from a wound, apply firm, direct pressure to the area using a clean cloth or sterile gauze stumble guys. Maintain the pressure until the bleeding stops or help arrives.

I'm sure you can get advice from your doctor or pharmacist, but I thought I'd share my experience. I've had bleeding gums for the last few years and have been taking an anti-inflammatory drug called Ibuprofen for about 3 months now. You can download stitch svg files for your presentation. It's been a godsend for me as it has stopped the bleeding, but also seems to have reduced pain in my lower back and knees. I also like to use coconut oil on my teeth at night as it seems to help with plaque build up and also gives a lovely taste if you eat something sweet afterwards.

As a precaution, we've started feeding him a diet that's more bland. If your doctor isn't helpful, and this may be easy for me to say depending on <a href="https://dordle.io">dordle</a> your situation, but you should look for a new doctor or a pediatric gastroenterologist instead.

not sure what things your dr has prescribed but ulcertive colotis and dehydration go hand and hand and the body loses alot of electrolytes and water may not be enough, also again i have had luck with colace and a movement without blood. not 100 percent but it makes you feel empty. hope this helps.

Have some bloodwork done . That’s how I found out I was severely anemic. At first they gave me iron infusion but later blood transfusions. Five pints the first time 23 pints overall.

Hello, my 7 year old was diagnosed with UC. He is on medication and has had bloody stools. We have found that his diet dictates the amount. We have started giving him a more bland diet in order to give his colon a rest. If your doctor is not helpful, and depending on your situation it may be easy for me to say, but to look for a new one or a pediatric GI.
My kid's teacher had a hard time believing there was a problem since my kid didn't "look" sick. Good luck!
