Still with the severe constipation..

Since being in this flare for over a month now, it's been all constipation. Urgencies yes, but with just bits of liquid upon straining, maybe a small D movement once every few days. Remicade And rectal meds are what I'm taking but still nothing has alleviated the severe constipation. During the passed couple days it now seems to be more generalized in my rectum area, like the pressure and pain and there's a distended part now that I haven't had before (lower left). Less urgencies now but worse constipation. Blood hasn't really been in issue during my flare, but now I'm bleeding these last couple days a little bit, I believe it's from the increased constipation and straining. Couple questions..

Does it seem like my flare has been healing and healed its way down to the final part of the colon that's harder to heal?

Is it possible to have skipped having major D during this whole flare? Or is it what's probably gonna come after the constipation subsides.

What do you suggest I take for my situation? I've been retaining rectal meds well but don't think it's providing.

Ive been on remicade for 3 years now and my constipation has never gone away. It really sucks when your also lactose intolerant and get the painful urge but can never go. i haven't had a flare up since starting remicade. So give it a little time and hopefully the remicade will work for you. Its my miracle drug!! The only way i can go is by taking Dulcolease every day and Miralax stool softener. My doctor even gave me a prescribed stool softener that's been working pretty well. I also get the little distended parts around my rectum. My doctor said they're fistulas an they are caused by straining. If you see a little blood in your stool its because one of the fistulas inside your rectum has burst from your straining.
Just take stool softeners every day and you should be fine. Then lay off and see if you don't need them anymore. as for me i have to take them in order to go. hope you clear every thing up!
