Hi Guys,

this will sound like a stupid question, but have any of you guys ever had tummy sounds that have woken you from you sleep at night? Last night, I had really voilent sounds from my tummy that woke me up twice. Thats not good, I need my 8 hours or I don't work right. And given that this DD keeps me inactive quite alot, it is really not good.

Also, I have only used the bathroom once since thursday (a welcome change from the D), but my doctor thinks it could be from a stricture, what do you guys think?

Are you having any pain with all this noise, or is it just really loud and rumbly? Does sound as if you have a stricture, but if it was a stricture from inflammation, the Pred would have helped it. If its a stricture from scar tissue no meds will help. Maybe you can provide a little more info and I might be able to give a better answer.

Hi Nanners,

yeah, I do feel some pain with it, it is always on my right side when it is so loud. The pain is not that bad at night, but hurts really bad during the day. When I had a stool on thursday, it was fully formed. However, it was like 8 inch long and it had a large twist in it towards the back end of it. Would a stricture cause that? The pred was helping me for a few days, but my pain is back with a passion. GI doc says ive them time to work.

Hi Conor Yes sure have been woken up by the rumbling and I know it can disturb the sleep. Hope your bowels start moving soon and the pred. helps .I wouldn't go too many more days without having a BM .Are you eating any apple sauce or something that will help them along. lol gail

Gachrons,

good to know I am not the only one. It is so mad. I finally had a BM during the night and it is looking good. Fully formed and no D. Just the big bends in it that worry ya. But hey, you cannot have it all. I pray for the day when I no longer need to manitor my pop.

Hi Gachrons,

Thankyou. Sad when your talking about your BM on the internet. LOL... I have been going now today quite freely. Really really thin stools though which is not much fun. But then again, better than the D!
