Have any of you experienced constipation with Crohn's disease ? Currently in Remicade every 6 weeks.

Yes, a lot of us have constipation with our Crohn's. It's very annoying!

Yep, yep, whilst diarrhea is definitely more common w/Crohn's disease, there are those of us, a minority, who are prone to constipation.

Matter of fact, out of the blue, I've had two rectal fecal impactions in the last 6-7 months and was just released from the hospital last night after an ER visit for what I suspected was a tummy ulcer and reflux but turned out to be a partial bowel obstruction at my old anastomosis.
