Hi all
It seems that over 18 months on from diagnosis I am actually starting to get the more mainstream hallmarks of IBD. I'm experiencing more and more new and unwelcome symptoms, although thankfully they aren't too overwhelming.
The last few days I've been noticing mucus. This is something I've never had before in around 6 years of being 'symptomatic.'
My question is that I thought it was more common to experience this in UC rather than Crohn's? As my activity thus far has all been small bowel is it logical for me to assume there may now be large bowel involvement too? I've pretty much had the go ahead to start a biologic and I'm at the hospital the last week of this month so I'll certainly mention it, but I'm just curious about why this has started now?
Thanks in advance
