@jime51 I start Mesalamine as soon as I see blood in my stool. I continue for a day or two after it has subsided. I try to avoid flare-ups by keeping stool soft and avoiding constipation. If I do become constipated, I do my best not to strain. Pulling the stomach up and in without pushing down can help move the bowels without straining.

@nikolai57 Thanks! I haven't had any issue with constipation but rather diarrhea until I began taking Psyllium fiber daily. I tried stopping it and diarrhea returned. I should pick up the Mesalamine refill tomorrow. I saw a little blood today, but mostly just spotting. My oncologist seems to have limited empathy but the gastroenterologist is sincerely trying to help.
