Confused

I tend to have narrow bms and it seems to be because of myralax..

I Have an upcomming apt. in march at mayo clinic in minnesota and Also have been working with my GI Dr @ home. Theybare talking of redoing the colonoscopy when i was there in october they couldnt perform the colonoscopy they said I wasnt cleaned out. I had been fasting 2 days prior and had a gal of golightly along with 4 docolax tabs i was going clear but they said that there was solid stool. I tthink tha.t was a red flag but who knows. they said they really need to get a good test this time so I told them i was going on clear liquids for a week prior.

"I have went from running to the br several times a day to not going at all, when i finally go it is very narrow (smaller than a pencil ) Has anyone ever experienced this ???"

this sounds similar to what I experienced leading up to landing my self in the ER a couple weeks ago with a partial obstruction due to an inflamed illeum. I would get it checked out. If your BM are pencil thin, I think it could be because your Crohn's has acted up and inflammed your bowels, allowing only the pencil thin bm to pass through.

As a result I am on prednisone now (doctor visit tommorow to discuss the taper plan from 40 mg/day down)

Well there could be a blockage problem or something along those lines so pay very close attention because if you start to feel really uncomfortable and havn't pooped out anything you should go to the ER.
