bad bloating, period for weeks, constipation, crohns

So i haven't been on here in a few years but I've been managing decent for a while. Im not saying I was great but everything seemed to stay the same so I always knew what i had going on. Well for the last few weeks Ive had a period every day for over 3 weeks. Ive had bad bloating after eating anything more then a few bites and my stomach just aches constantly. Ive had constipation and when i do go its only a little at a time. Now im eating at least half what i normally would in a day, sometimes less then that. None of this is normal for me and its all neen going on for about 3 weeks straight. I have Crohns so the gi doc did bloodwork and a ct with/without contrast. The gyno did an ultrasound too. Both the ct and ultrasound came back good but im still waiting on the pap results and i have a colonoscopy scheduled. Im not on any meds right now and the gyno said to stop bc for a week to see if it helps the bleeding. Its been 4 days without and still hasnt yet. I just dont know where to go from here because none of it is getting better. Any idea what works for the extreme bloating that i can take every day but not make things worse. If i could fix the bloating and bleeding i can handle the rest. UGH!

Ive used miralax to prep for my last 2 colonoscopies but not for anything else. I recently used a mild laxative for 1 day and then they had me use a stool softner for a few days. Then i had about a week of nothing. Then i did 1 more day of the mild laxative when it was getting bad again (i was out of the stool softner and it was getting late). I took it and went to bed. Woke up 4 hours later in a lot of pain, dizzy, cold sweats, and felt like i was going to pass out. I did go to the bathroom but it wasnt a crazy amount or anything. I felt better about 1 hour later and went back to bed. But id rather avoid anytype of laxative product until i know whats going on. I am going to the bathroom a little each day, so im not completely blocked up right now. Im more focusing on how bad the bloating has been getting and my stomach aches constantly. Ive had 2 days i couldnt even eat but the last 3 days ive been able to have a small dinner and a few small snacks during the day. Is there something that isnt a laxative that can help the bloating? My doctor prescribed ucerius 9mg tablets on friday but im still waiting on insurance to approve it.

I was thinking blockage too and ive never had this bad bloating before. Its new for me. My stomach goes back and forth from completely flat (im skinny) to looking 5 months pregnant. Some days arent real bad but others are. The gi doc did a ct looking for blockages and inflammation but i was told they didnt see anything on the ct. I have a colonoscopy coming up but just trying to figure out to handle this ache/pressure in my belly. I havent done a liquid diet yet besides the 2 days i was pretty bad. And that was more of i just couldnt eat. I felt so extremely full. I forced myself to drink smoothies.

Do you have lots of gas? Do you feel nauseous? Is your pain or bloating relived by passing gas or stool?

I have a lot of strictures in my small intestines. I often feel bloated too. It is quite uncomfortable. I asked my GI if this could be caused by SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). His said quite possible.

This just isn't normal at all. At this point, I would really push your GI for a solution, or request a second opinion. In situations like this, it's much better to have someone advocate for you. Do you have a family member that's very strong willed? They need to go in with you, and get mad. This takes the heat off of you, and may get you some actions. I would ask for more diagnostics while waiting for your next scope. An MRE would be a good idea.

I'm still leaning towards a blockage of some kind. Do you feel just as much bloating with liquids? Have your BM's improved, or become more regular? Are you passing gas?

Hope you get to the bottom of things soon.
