Uncomfortable reclining positions

Am I the only person who can't lie down on their back?? Because it seems like as soon as I do my stomach starts to hurt really badly, and it gets really busy. I can only be on my side anymore...of course being on my stomach is absolutely off limits...

Anyone else have similar problems?? There probably isn't a way to fix it either...unless we can cure Crohn's. I just miss lying down on my back sometimes, and I can't really get massages from my fiance anymore because of the whole stomach thing. Fun!!

I can lay on my back, but where I have problems is laying on my right side. Everytime I do that, I get a kinda nauseous stomach if I stay too long on that side.

If I lie down after I eat I get extreme bloating. I have to wait a couple hours.

It's kind of funny reading these...It's nice to relate to people, but I feel like normal people don't get it as much!!

I usually do lie down after I eat because I just get into this lethargic state unless I've made it a habit of exercising...I haven't been out walking in a couple of months I'm ashamed to say. Unless walking on campus counts. Ours is so spread out...

Also, I was told that lying on your right side causes problems because of the positioning of your organs. If you lie down on your left side, for example, it helps when you have heartburn, but lying down on your right gives the incline such a degree that digestive juices go the wrong way...I could be wrong, but I've noticed a difference myself.

Bonnie I think your theory is right. Because I have no probs on the left side, but feel pukey after about 5 min on the right. My hubby hates it cause he sleeps on my right side and I can only turn that way to snuggle for just a few minutes till I start feeling yucky.
