I've been on Humira for 3 weeks now.  My stools are more formed, not always entirely formed, but more formed.  The problem I'm having is it hurts so bad to have a BM.  It hurts inside where my anastomosis would be.  I'm getting the labor-type pains, sweating, doubled over type stuff.  However, I AM passing stool and it's not really diarrhea.  It feels like I'm partially obstructed, but I don't think I am because the pain then goes away.  I'm more nauseous too.  My theory is that the food is sticking around longer in my ileum area and my system isn't used to it.  However, what can I do about the severe pain?  UGH.  I do have a call in the the GI, but I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what you do about it.  I feel like I have stricture, but I just had a colonoscopy in January and there was no evidence of a stricture then.    At this point, I would like my diarrhea back!

I sometimes get attacks of being lightheaded, sweaty, and severe pain when passing a semi-formed bm. I sometimes vomit from the pain. My doctor thinks that it is IBS and not my Crohns. I hardly have one of these attacks anymore since cutting out gluten and raw fruits/veggies. Once the attack is over, I would take a nap and then feel ok.

If my bowels get slower than normal I will feel really crappy (no pun intended) and nauseous until the stool finally passes. No answers for you, but sending some hugs. Keep us posted on what the doc says.

My GI is out and the on call Doc ordered a plain film of my abdomen to rule out any sort of obstruction. Apparently, it's normal but I haven't heard back from the GI's office. I did go see my PCP this morning (who told me it was normal) to get some advice since my GI is out and I'm now running a fever of 99.2, which for me is a fever. I'm on Humira--so it freaks me out. My PCP took some blood, but doesn't really know why I have a low grade fever-no results back from that yet. I just feel really crappy. My stomach above my navel is distended and sore feeling and my back feels crampy. I feel like I'm flaring. My GI's nurse is pissing me off because I don't feel like she is taking me seriously. Grrr.... We are heading into the weekend and I'm traveling for my daughter's State Gymnast Competition. If I get full blow sick and miss her competition I will be so upset.
