Hopefully you mean a bit of bleeding when you go, not a hemorrhage. If it is the latter, you need emergency medical care. Also seek immediate care if you have a fever, vomiting, or severe pain.
If it is red blood when you wipe or staining the water mixed in with stool, I wouldn't panic in the short run. That could be pouchitis, or even an anal fissure. I would leave a message with the answering service, and stay with a soft diet.
Andrina! You are still bleeding?! Omg, I am so sorry you are going through this! I would suggest either go to the emergency room or go to your surgeon.
Andrina, I think its time you considered getting an ileostomy bag permanently; You said before life was perfect with the ilesotomy, I think you should go back to the perfection instead of living in hell, literally; I think its time. You gave the J-pouch a shot, at least you can say you tried it. Give the ileostomy some thought and choose the perfection route which is getting a ilesotomy permanently.
I hope everything works out.
Did you ever try Mesalamine suppositories???
