Long story short: I have IBD, not sure which one yet, I am waiting for a colonoscopy appointment. I’ve been in a bad flare with lots of excessive mucus, bright red blood, tenesmus, diarrhea, pains. I have been given OCTASA suppositories. Been on them for 10 days, my symptoms are a bit better but not great, I still pass blood only and mucus and have diarrhea it’s just less times in the day. Today I had no stool yet, but I did pass some black blood mixed with mucus. It was very much black. Should I be going to A&E? I’m not in pain. I have requested for my colonoscopy to be fast tracked but that might still be two weeks. I’m getting very scared because I have never ever had black blood before, but I’m wondering if it’s fairly normal?
