Hey guys - my meds are finally working and my bowel movments are down from 10 to about 3 or 4 a day. However, I have intense pain during the bowel movement (the pain goes away one the stool is passed). Does anyone know of any meds or supplements or anything that has helped the relieve intense abdominal pain during the bowel movement? Thanks in advance!

Rectal mesalamine retention enemas, steroid enemas, mesalamine suppositories, steroid suppositories.

Good to hear you've had great improvement...

It could be lower down rectal inflammation, as Heather said, best treated with suppository or enema.. I remember when my stool started to return to solid, and it hurt passing them (like I was pooping shards of glass or something). As I continued healing it improved and then went away.

If you have pain before and afterwards it could be spasms (an antispasmatic medication would help with those).

Just want to mention this and it doesn't have to be your case. When I healed up under uceris I was in a lot of pain although I was healing. I called it healing pain believe it or not. After this phase had passed I was in remission which still lasts to today (fingers crossed).
