Question: I had a recent Flare up when to seek the DR

J

I am currently having a flare up, for just over 1 week. I have had 2 or 3 flare ups in the past, usually about 1 per year. This time it is not very bad, but there is blood in my stool and I have to go about 4 times per day. I have been trying to heal through the SCD diet and would prefer not to take medications. I am wondering how long to try to resolve the symptoms with out medications and if that is even possible. Please help!

That is a hard question to answer. My advice is to see a doctor before!! you reach a point where you can't cope with your symptoms. 4 BM a day isn't that much, at least in my experience. Perhaps reducing your diet to something very basic for a week might help? I'm sorry but in my opinion this issue isn't clear cut.
