So for the last week I have been really gassy and bloated.  At first I thought it was from spaghetti sauce and then I realized i have been eating oranges for breakfast.  My bowels have increased to like 4 stools a day.  Because I am on humira I get constipated and I have to take miralax and stool softners because of an anal fissure.  Do you think oranges can cause your stomach to be bloated and gassy and increase bowel movements?  I have been doing the miralax and stool softners for sometime now.

I don't really know about gas but citrus fruits are usually always a no no for UC'rs. Spaghetti sauce isn't usually very good or anything with tomatoes.

oranges are fine for me as are spaghetti sauce...although too much garlic is ugh

A lot depends on how much you consume.

So, how many oranges in the morning?
And with what else?

you might consider to lower the miralax/stool softeners and see if that improves

oranges only for breakfast. I cant lower miralex and softners everytime I do my stools become hard and my fissure tears.
