yep, normal to be gassy for the full day, especially if you're flaring. Did he take biopsies? you'll be bleeding from them as well for up to 4 days.

Let us know how the enemas go.

Hope you're feeling better tomorrow.

I'm glad to report that the enemas were actually easier for me to hold in than the Canasa suppositories. CRAZY! It's like you think... you're pushin so much in... it HAS to come out. I didn't even feel it really!

AAAAAAAND! I am having soft formed stools!!!!! not D

Wow....great to hear you were able to hold them in and that today has you feeling pretty good!

Soft stools are easier going through an inflamed rectum...

Hope it continues...keep us posted!!

I went through the TriLyte prep and it wasn't great, but it wasn't too bad either. I drank through a straw pushed well back on my tongue so that it mostly just went down my throat with a minimum of tongue contact. But the real secret...(dramatic pause)...

...was that I put a lemon drop in my cheek. I took three or four gulps trying not to taste the fluid, then I would roll the lemon drop around on my tongue for a few seconds. Then it was back in my cheek for the next time. You are allowed hard candy as long as it is not red. I also bit into lemon afterward, but I don't think that did much. The lemon drop was what made it work.
