I have not been on here in a long time A good thing I guess. I hade my TD surgery roughly 9 years ago and had issues with pouchitis etc for about 2 years. I went back on Remicade (it worked this time) but I tried to ween off it recently to no avail, (skin cancer is a concern) I went from 10-12 weeks between back to 8. I also vape light grade marijuana nightly to help me sleep and alleviate pain but I am finding I need that more often than I would like. I use immodium usually 2 pills twice a day too. I have been getting stomach pains, loose stool, some minor leakage and occasional blood in my stool. When it is there it is significant and I get that metallic taste in my mouth. This has happened 3-4 times in as many months. Yesterday I ate nothing that would trigger this. I will be scheduling a scope soon but has anyone had these type of issues? I am starting to get a little concerned. The bowl was pretty blood filled this AM but has been gone since.
