Gas gas gas

Mitzo...ewwwww. maybe just a warm water enema with a bulb-syringe would be best? and go into the toilet..less clean-up. I won't even pee in the shower/tub..let alone the "other".

Thank goodness the retention enemas still work for me...

Hey Mitzo, I have a hard time believing you wouldn't end up with mucus all over your finger during that process...when mucus or stool is comming, it's comming and I doubt a finger can stop that...not to mention, that sounds pretty gross.

:)

It sounds absolutely disgusting, and I'm not so sure it isn't a pretty bad idea, frankly, for your rectum, and especially for crap (literally!) spraying all over your shower/tub. I don't care how well you cleaned it, I sure wouldn't want to be the next person to step into that shower or sit down in that tub. ~shudder~

Dear Mitzo,

I have not read the compete thread but I have another discussion happening here called FODMAPS.  Please take your time to read through it.  I too have UC and got it after quitting smoking.  I have recently had a consultation with a dietitican who deals in research with people with Crohn's and colitis.  Please read my thread it may very well help with the gas and mucous problem and maybe with any bleeding.  The diet has really turned my disease around.  No more wind, bloating, gas or bleeding for me.  I aim to stick to the diet.  Please read about it in my thread.  The dietitican told me that my disease would improve 75% and it turns out that I have improved.  Thank God.  Here is the link.

Also here is the link to the research about the diet

Relief of gas pressure without mucous. Isn't that what we all would want? I never had a problem with this technique causing any mess or any problem with mucous staying inside.

I don't see how it would be natural or even helpful to keep the mucus inside, it's like coughing up phlemg, you don't swallow it, you spit it out becuse mucus (especially excess mucus) is a sign of irritation/inflammation in general and you want it out of you since it does not serve any purpose being kept in you.

Letting a fart out slowly can help keep mucus from comming out with a fart.
