Recently I have a severe pochitis and took 1 month cipro + metro , but it doesn’t work, so my doctor prescribes me Budesonide 9 mg/day.
after 2 month recently I found blood in my stool. Has anybody same experience?
Is it possible my poach healing up or it’s failure?

Are you sure the bleeding is coming from the pouch? There are other common sources of bleeding, such as hemorrhoids.
I really not sure, but when it comes out sometimes it contains blood clots.
Haji, you have to know where the bleeding is coming from to understand and treat it. It could be from cuffitis, from a pouchitis ulcer, or from an ulcer higher up in the ileum. If it’s bright red it’s probably not much farther away from the exit than that. Bleeding hemorrhoids wouldn’t generally form clots. Does your doctor know you’re bleeding? When did the bleeding start? How often do you see blood?
Scott, you’re right, it’s not so further from exit. Yes I told my doctor but maybe it’s not very important. So if I have cuffitis what should I do?
The budesonide should treat cuffitis effectively, but it’s a steroid best reserved for when nothing else will do the job. If I had cuffitis I’d probably try treating it with Canasa.
Some kinds of bleeding really aren’t very important, so knowing what your doctor thinks is going on would be helpful.
