 Not very many places you can go and feel comfortable talking about poop. I have a quick question. Is it normal for Ko to poop  lots of  times in one day and them to be real watery.  Then the next day not be able to go at all but feel like he needs to. Then maybe the next day have the watery poop again.

He says his pain is different now. Its gteting worse but its up higher now.

I've had crohns for over 23 years, in fact I just had 2 feet of my intestine removed 12 days ago. I'm sorry for you and your son to have to deal with this crummy disease, it's a real curse. Speaking for myself one of the most frustrating aspects of it, especially in the beginning, was trying to pattern what aggreed with me & what didn't. This led to extremely erratic bowel movements and the way I felt overall.

I guess my advice would be to keep track somehow of what Ko eats along with bowel movements and overall feelings. The big thing to remember is that even when he's feeling good, his bowel movements will most likely be erratic.

Hope this helps and good luck to both you and your son.

His bowel movements sound like mine except mine are more twords constipation. Mine are caused by thickening in the lower colon. I also had horriable rectal inflammation & pain when it all started out with the back & forth watery 'D' & not being able to go.

Does it sound like he's having tenesmus? Like Mike said, even when I feel great, my bowel movements can be weird.

I hope Ko feels better :( Poor thing!

I have blood in my stool, I have pure water stool atm (but passing everything fine) so the water is naturally more red in comparable to a solid turd [lol] and when I wipe I have bright red smidges on the TP but overall I am just pooping blood and that's it nothing else, but I have a fistula so maybe that is the cause?

I am on remicade also but I have no issues AT ALL but recently blood clots....I can give pictures of someone wants....it?
