Hi all, my daughter has been on Lialda for a couple days shy of a month for her colitis. Until yesterday the only symptom she has experienced since starting treatment has been a couple of mouth ulcers. Last night she had what I think was a Bristol 6 stool. She is fine this morning but I am preparing myself that the symptoms may be returning and we may need to change meds. It did make me wonder if it is possible for IBD kids to have an occasional case of looser stools such as a 'normal' person may have after something they ate or are we always to assume any loose stools are the beginning of a flare?
Adding: Just talked to the nurse and she said to keep an eye on it which I obviously will. They can have a fluke stool but to watch for the big picture of pain, blood, frequency, etc. During her last flare she was more like a 3x a day kid so even when I know her flare is happening her frequency isn't as much as some so I never want to discount anything.
