Hi all I hurt my back and I took ibuprofen for five days started to get a little flare up so stooped taking them stopped last Wednesday I have blood in my stools but not a full flare if you no what I mean. Just wondering it's been over a week now after I stopped the ibuprofen is this normal for uc and how long does it take to clean up or should I go back to docs if it hasn't in the next few days

Thanks dan
