And no BM. During a typical flare with D, I know I wish I would just stop going but UGH. Now I get to have C??

I'm drinking a ton of water, I have lots of belly sounds going on but no cramping or gas or urge to go at all.

I'm going to give my tummy a break today, eat soft solids and drink a lot of water.

Seeing the GI tomorrow so I'll be sure to talk about it.

Thoughts? Is constipation part of a flare or start of healing?

I would say part of the flare. Not all flares are with D. There is no set definition of a flare set in stone - it's like what Forrest Gump says....it's like a box of chocolates....

Usually C is due to rectal inflammation. I find I feel absolutely horrible when I have C. I get very uncomfortable and when that happens, I usually juice apples to get me going again. But it's good you are seeing your doc tomorrow so be sure to bring it up at that time.

Thanks Sherry. I was thinking the same thing about the inflammation. I actually feel really good though, and it's making me a little nervous lol.

I'm still not going to overdue it but I did eat a little dairy this morning to see if that will get things going for me. I've had 2 bottles of water and a cup of peppermint/spearmint tea and some applesauce.

Part of your now healing process, and with rectal inflammation, constipation is common...but not recognised as obvious.

You should call the doc and ask for the retention enemas.

Are you using the Canasa?

Once the pred kicks in, that should improve.
