REmission and loose stools?

Is it possible to be in remission and still have loose stools? I was told I was in remission but I go to the bathroom once every morning and it is almost always loose.

YA it is usually once a day pretty much. But I do have a stricture so I think fiber is out of the picture. Not sure if there is anything else to try or not. But thanks for your response.

If you have a stricture, that could be the culprit. Also morning coffee.

A stricture is a narrowing somewhere in your intestines. It can either be from scar tissue or inflammation. If you are cut open and have surgery, or if the stricture is in the colon and your doc can see it, then the doc can differentiate between the two. Otherwise, the doc can guess based on your tests results, symptoms and responses to medications. If your stricture is from scar tissue, then yes, you can be in remission and have a stricture. If you are currently having inflammation, then you are in a flare and not in remission. My understanding is that every time you get inflammed, and the inflammation resolves, it leaves behind some scar tissue. When the scar tissue is severe, you can end out with a partial or full bowel obstruction. In my case, I had a partial obstruction from a stricture due to inflammation in my ileum. After two months of Prednisone, the inflammation resolved, and I am now back on maintenance meds and in remission. If someone looked at my ileum today, they would probably see some scar tissue, but it is not bad enough to cause an obstruction. Your goal is to try to prevent the flares with medication, because the more times you cycle through inflammation episodes, the more scar tissue you build up. I hope this helps answer your question.

Thanks everyone..Kazbern do you have a stricture? I read a little about gluten free just seems so expensive is all.

yes it is, I'm in remission, and have loose bm's. But I have 9ft of sm. bowel removed, thats why mine are loose. My first bm of morning might be semi formed the 2nd 3rd etc. are not.
