When researching Crohns, I've noticed it mentioned several times that menstruation can worsen Crohns symptoms. Does anyone here have experience with this? Do menstrual cycles actually cause a flare of some sort, even while you are on medication for Crohns? I am getting a capsule endoscopy soon (pill cam) and then will actually get to follow up with the GI about
a month after. Ive been on Entocort for about
a month and am trying to determine if it is working. I thought my movements were maybe improving and I seem to have less pain and more energy, but that has changed. I have now gone from having constipation with softer stool when I have a movement to constipation and then full blown diarrhea when I do produce something. Basically, I am having more diarrhea very suddenly. I was taking antibiotics but stopped those about
a week ago so I didnt think it would be related to that. The only other thing that seems different is that I am cycling. I havent had this kind of reaction to menstruation happen before as far as I can tell. It is so hard to pinpoint things sometimes!
