I've been feeling fantastic,but still have urgency and pooping my pants in CAR!!

Hey All, I stopped Entyvio on Sept 29th, I feel so much better being off that! I work out all the time or whenever I want to ...you get it. I'm not over doing, but I CAN do it! Far cry from this whole past year.

I still poop my pants int he car like every other fricken day! I'm fine when I leave the house and for some reason my body says "your in the car, poop" Do I need hypnosis?

Otherwise I'm doing great. My poops are long and skinny, ribbon like of couse. They smell sweet and my girlfriend said it might be yeast issues. I'm on Asacol HD two a day (one in the AM and on one in PM) I can take my antibiotics as needed. If I feel gas and bloating for days on end or run down, I can take Rafaximin and it goes away. Without testing, my doc said it could possibly small intestinal bowel overgrowth (SIBO) I try not to jump to antibiotics or steriods.

Maybe I could take something for yeast long term thats all natural? I don't want a detox pill, I can poop a ton on my own! Probiotics make me poop even more!

My poop color ranges from orange to yellow mostly.

If I could stop the urgency in my car, dang it, it would be doing more than fantastic! There is someone else on here, soystud maybe, that also has the accidents in the car.  This is where it all started, pooping in my car!! I'm not kidding. I can't stop driving for all your funny people out there who will suggest that :) So no I'm not in remission, haven't been in 10 years now, but I'm doing better.  Well thanks for listening and Happy Turkey Day, I'm eating everything and anything!!

Why aren't you taking more Asacol? 2 a day is a third of the maximum dosage recommended to achieve remission.

Maybe try imodium for a bit?

haha that made me laugh.

Actually, I wouldn't rule out hypnotherapy if you find that you do have some control elsewhere. I had a period where I was out of flare but of course our nerves down there are super sensitive to letting us know we need to go as most of us have had accidents when in flare. For me, it was either driving through one area where there's a really slow light/congestion and I had got stuck and had a poop accident before and secondly walking down the stairs into my local metro station - always the same spot. I did go to hypnotherapy and it really helped me. I have learnt to know the difference in my body from when I am flaring and I cannot hold it to when I do have some control but adrenalin and cramping and traumatic memory are making it feel like I don't.

Have you tried l-glutamine? It helps healing the colon, and it can slow down the colon motility in some people!

It sounds like inflammation symptoms. Long, skinny stool, off odor, yellow indicating fast transit, accidents, gas & bloating... I can't imagine feeling like I am doing well with those symptoms :(

I am thankful I had surgery. Things are so much more predictable now. Even if I am going a lot, at least I can hold it long enough to prevent going in the car. I think hypnosis is a good idea if you think it's possible that it may help. I personally doubt it will help, I don't think it's in your head. You're not envisioning skinny stools, they are skinny, that means there is inflammation. You need to use more rectal meds or perhaps get a scope to see where it is active and find out what works for you.

You kow, 25-30% of people with UC need surgery due to lack of response to available treatments. I see you're now thinking it's crohn's colitis which is a different beast and needs to be addressed differently. Did you recevie that diagnosis from pathology? endoscopy? Have you had multiple opinions? Happy thanksgiving. I hope you can get it under control with hypnosis or yeast elimination. have you tried SCD? That diet would have to control yeast, no sugar, no grain, no carb...
