Ok I told you people I was feeling lucky, and hope still can say, but have to say I'm a bit worried at the fifth week after reversal.

I'm still at 2/3 bowel movements per day, but this is caused by no urgency so that I adopted the decision to keep; perhaps this was a wrong choice as I noticed a general worsening of stools. Before stools were quite firm and normal color and odor, now they are reddish, and more watery. more difficult to keep also. and at the end I see some drops of blood that report me to the worst days of colitis.
I'm wondering if it's emorrhoid or some anal irritation as I have also anal pain when I have bowel movements.
spasm are strong when they come, and I feel they arrive when there was the reversal, as it starts in the right side of my butt where I had the stoma. The pouch doesn't seem painful for what I understand as I can retain very well...

well I need your words of experience tell me if do you find normal my symptoms at 5 weeks or am I doing something wrong (perhaps should tweak better the diet); one thing I noticed is that those symptoms worsened a bit when three days ago I started to have homemade yoghurt.

I want to add that I'm a bit afraid of crohns, do people which find crohns have those kind of symptoms?

Typically bloody stools with increased frequency are due to cuffitis, an inflammation of the retained rectal cuff. It could be hemorrhoids too, especially if you've been bothered by them before. Another possiblity is anal fissure. Anal pain during a bowel movement could be due to any of the above, but with a fissure it is exteme.

Have you informed your surgeon of the bleeding? If not, you should. This oes not mean you ave Crohn's.
