Reply to "Do you typically see blood with pouchitis"

My mom instinct is telling me something is wrong. I am calling her doctor and am going to demand she is scoped first before any treatment. I don’t think this is unreasonable.  The amount of blood I am seeing is increasing. Diet will be the long term goal, I know she need to work on that. I understand a doctor prescribing antibiotics  or other medication when it is obvious or patient has a known history of the condition. However, in her case,  this is the first time this is happening. I am also wondering if this can be linked at all with her period which she has right now. I am sure the bloody mucuous came from her behind and so is she.  Based on what I have been reading here and with patients experience, I am not certain it is pouchitis. Everyone thinks that because it is common with a Jpouch. But the blood is definitely there and it is increasing. Wondering if it could be her rectal cuff- but I know they left the smallest amount they could and she had a stapled procedure.
