Hello dear
I understand your concern
Ulcerative colitis is autoimmune disease and require proper treatment under advise of gastroenterologist.
Treatment depend on colonoscopy report.
None of the medicine described by you cause stool bleeding.
Treatment response will occur in next 7-10 days and depend on disease severity.
You can also ask for
Entofoam enema
Mesalazine spray/enema/suppository for long term management
Capsule sporolac
Hope this may help you
Contact further if follow up needed
Best regards
