Colocort Enemas--is this normal?

Hi Everyone!

I just started on Colocort Enemas (not the foam...I am not sure what the difference is or why my dr decided this) last night and already notice a difference today! Went from 6+ bloody, watery BMs a day to just 2, much more formed, with no blood. I can't believe it made a difference so fast!! I hope it keeps getting better. However, I am also very gassy/crampy today. After just a few bites of food the gas and cramps get so bad that I feel like the diarrhea is about to strike and I have to stop eating. Then slowly it goes away and I can take more bites...I'm not eating anything super weird--just the same stuff I always eat--applesauce, banana, and oatmeal so far. I

s this normal? Will it go away? I would expect something like this from a probiotic but not from a steroid. Thanks for your input everyone!

Yes, I find those colocort enemas really turn it around for me fast, too. I've never had gas, etc from the enemas, but sometimes when the frequency and bleeding stop I begin to notice the other flare symptoms which I've ignored while paying attention to th more dramatic aspects..... maybe this was some of your experience, too?
In any case, as long as you don't add to the issues by squirting more air into the colon, the gassiness and all should begin to let up soon as the inflammation heals.
