Why is the morning the worst time of day for Crohn's?

you have described me to a 'T' mornings are awful, tapers off in the afternoon, but manages to get the odd sneaky 1 or 2 in, then evenings are back to bad. only diagnosed at the start of july this year, so looks like i've lots of toilet visiting to come. how come when your out and about you need the loo but when they ask if you can supply a stool sample at the hospital can you hell do one.

This topic is such a great one! I thought THIS was just me! I work about 40minutes from home so I must wake up early. On days when I have REALLY bad bm's I am either late or running in the door! The mornings are just absolutely horrible. Even with the medication I am on, oddly. I take my Entocort in the morning before food. I try to eat a light breakfast- bland cereal or protein shake. I had a horrible BM right before I leave, only to have another horrible one within an hour of getting to work. I am thankful the amount of times before noon that I go has decreased since the Entocort. Nausea usually sets in about 10am and eat some kind of cereal bar or fiber bar to help. Have a lunch and run to the bathroom almost 15 minutes after eating. My co-workers are well trained in why I go missing after lunch. :) I do like to brush my teeth also. :)

By the time I get home, I feel better- not perfect but better. But I guess with Crohn's we don't aim for perfection or normality. I usually eat a good/decent dinner . . . only to start the morning process all over again. I sometimes wish I could starve myself at night to prevent my morning flares. :( The weekends suck too because I wake up, feel fine, go out (grocery shopping, etc), then usually have to turn around and go back home to use the bathroom.

Oooh the life! :)
