Need some advice as to what is going on....

Felt great for the last few months then this past week or so i am miserable.  I have low abdominal cramping then feel like i am about to explode. Run to the BR and only a small amount of stool comes out... this repeats all day!  I do have some mucus.  Also, the only way i can describe it is.. when you get sunburn and then you peel.. looks like peices of floating flesh in the bowel.   Also  I do have a rectal prolapse so with all this going, my butt is a mess. 

Can this be a different kind of flare?  Most of the time i get the normal D.  It would be different if I didn;t "go" each time but today alone this has happened more than 11 times.

I have a call in to my gi.. don;t want to appear like a whiny brat.  Thanks Prof

Have you had rectal inflammation before? What you're describing is what I felt during the first year I was trying to figure this stuff out. Mostly I passed mucous & blood, and it was frequent and unpleasant. I hope your GI can see you soon.

Don't know..... I am concerned about the feeling of exploding and then spending the next hour going back and forth to the BR passing alittle stool at a time. could this be a stricture?

Prof , can it be something you ate ? Lettuce rips me up and it looks like what you describe , also tomato skin could be the culprit . Hope it is short lived and you feel better soon.

I'm the same as Sniper - lettuce & tomato do that.  As for just going a small amount several times a day, my mom has CD and did this too.  After several years of this they discorvered she had a small anal opening and that was all that could come out at one time.  She too had strictures through the years.  Not much help, but know you are not alone.

Sitz baths are nice. Get some epsom salts at the pharmacy and pour it in a warm bath and just sit. It will feel good.
