The patients’ assessment of their own disease will include evidence of active but mild and stable disease eg 1-2 stools/day more than usual, or occasional streaks of blood. Patients will be trained in using this scoring system. 5. The physician’s empirical (gestalt) assessment will categorise the patient as having mild overall disease. 6. patients must be able to understand the risks and benefits of the study and give written informed consent to participation 7.
