confused,consipated?

Hi guys!!

So recently (since Dec) I've started doing both Humira AND MTX also from Dec to Feb I was on lupron. Ever since I got off lupron (the last day of Jan) everytime I go to the bathroom which use to be at least twice a day, turned into every 3 sometimes 4 days. But when I did go the stool was so hard that I was bleeding. So I would take a bath just like I was told but this has been going on for weeks and the blood is no longer just spotting but a lot of blood. So much blood I thought I might have started my period everytime (even tho I wasn't due for it) just to show how much blood there really was!! So I figured ok I need to add fiber to my diet clearly the crohns is good enough for that. SO I have you name it I've eaten it daily. Even flaxseeds in everything I eat. Still not helping and now I feel bloated and unconfortable and gained 10lbs at least. Next thing was metamucil I started at 1 tsp a day.. was working yay! but then a week later nothing... not even going to the bathroom. So I added an extra tsp a day and still nothing. I'm at a point of thinking to take laxative tea and green tea!!! I went onto webMD and put in my symptoms and it comes up with colon cancer... yes I have crohn's in my colon but the area is the least effected. I would be in more pain no? I don't believe I have colon cancer OR issues I'm not one of those internet freaks lol but I do take my research to my doc's for a second opinion (usually I'm right) I def feel like there is something off tho!  
Has this happen to any of you, what did you do? can a twist bowel do that? I would imagine again if my bowel was twisted I'd be in pain? my eatting habits have not change... even tho I'm bloated I still get hungry! 
I need a stable relief. I never ever thought I'd say  that lol I went from not being able to stop going to the complete opposite and not being able to go at all and if I do it's hard and full of blood ( not my stool that only happen once since all of this started)
any insight would be so grately appreciated!!

Great!!! thanks!!! I will go buy it today... I am more then willing to try ANYTHING!

Thanks again I really appreciate your reply.

I try and call the GI everytime I have an issue but she never gets my message's. ANd they are NEVER able to give me an earlier apt. Basically I'd have to go to the emergancy. And since I'm not vomiting I'll wait over 10 hours. Not exactly my kind of day. I don't feel the need to go wait in the E.R but maybe I should! I don't feel like it's an emergancy but I've felt like that before and almost died of malnourished. I def don't believe I have caner... nor am I stressing over that but I am a little worried there may be an issue here. Yes the blood is red bright red. I only see her (GI) May 5th!!! :( :( I just tried too to get an earlier apt and they said they are only now booking for July. I'm on a cancel list tho!
I wanted to see if what I was going through normal for a crohnie who may be in remission (I wouldn't know what remission is if my life depended on it) wanted to know if this was part of that. But I don't think so. In the mean time I'll try miralax.
Thank you so much for your reply!! I'll def keep a posted going.Hopefulyl if this happens to someone else they'll kind of know!
Thank you!!! I hope this gets better too... I'm already dealing with endo (rencetly lost my right ovary and now have more cyst on my left not looking good) I'm 27 hasn't been easy since I've been 18.

OMG...I have just started Humira and I am experiencing very similar symptoms. I never thought that I would every be praying to go to the bathroom! I am so uncomfortable - bloated, crampy. Frankly I find it worse than a Crohn's flare...maybe its because its just such a unfamiliar feeling. I have been trying Colace and Miralax. I will be contacting my GI first thing tomorrow! I will cross my fingers that someone cancels and you are able to see your GI soon.

I really don't believe it's humira...i was on it for a year before I stopped then off for 10 months then went back on it been on it since Sept 2011 and all my issues started in Feb. But who knows maybe I'm wrong lol I never know anymore!!
I could not agree more with you... I so much rather to have a crohn's flare then to deal with this!!! I guess appreciate what you have huh lol!!!
Hope you get an apt will quick... keep me posted on how your feeling and what the GI says. Good luck and feel better!!
Ohh I can't find miralax here....I'm in canada has anyone else in Canada use or seen this? thanks!!
