Hello, wondering if anyone has any insight to my issue. Since a couple months after my sons birth last September I have had two incidents of mild blood and mucus when I use the restroom mostly with stool and a couple times without. This has happened twice in the last year for about a week to two weeks at a time and then goes away. I had a colonoscopy in March and they found internal hemorrhoids and erythematous mucosa (colitis) in a small part
of my transverse colon. The biopsy came back as likely infectious colitis. They did a ton of blood work and the Premetheus IBD panel which tests for IBD and everything came back negative. They gave me Cipro and Flagyl which I finished but forgot a few doses and had to catch up. I was fine for the last four to five months and then recently had another flare up with the little bit of mucus with blood I had a cat scan and it’s still showing colitis. I have a follow up appt in a month. Any ideas what’s going on ?? I’ll also be submitting a stool test this week.
