For all the single fella's out there I know you can relate to this one. You go out on a Friday night and you mix all kinds of drinks and food from earlier in the day and then you bring over a girl and she stays the night and she doesn't leave till like 2 o clock the next mornning (errr day I should say). All the while you're brewing up some nasty stuff and all you want is for her leave so you can unload! If you beat cakes again in the morning it gets the bowels flowing that much more from all the movement.
Crohns Disease is an awful infammatory disease of the bowels. Most people that have full cases of it work very hard for their life to not be miserable. My wife has an Aunt that has this and she's always miserable, doesn't want to leave her house and be away from a bathroom, always has pain and cramping. Its just awful. Funny enough, one of the best treatments for Crohns seems to be smoking. So one of the things you have to figure out is do you want to live a long miserable life with Crohns, or shorten your life and smoke. As much as I hate smoking, I'd probably choose to take it up. To the OP, one of the thing that can change your bowel habits is stress. If you are having stress in your life it could cause this. Never hurts to go to a Doctor when you have a major change in your bowel habits either. I'd suggest going on some fiber supplement for a little while to see if it evens you out some. Never hurts.
It's actually Crohn's disease I believe. I think a poster on here has a child that has this ailment. It's incurable but treatable from what I have read but it takes a lot of work to control it to make life relatively normal.
I have heard of people who have to go 3 or 4 times a day but there is usually some diarrhea (sp?) mixed in there. Having to go 3 or 4 times a day and the dumps are all solid, well I never have heard that. Are you taking a lot of laxatives, cwebbster?

I suffer from Crohn's but it isn't as bad for me as it is for many people. I was just diagnosed with it in January but I have had it for years. The symptoms got too severe and I lost tons of weight before I got sick of being told by my GP physician and all the people he referred me to who said I was just stressed. I finally found a specialist that is competent. I'm pretty lucky in that if I take my 11 pills a day I lead a life that is pretty close to normal although I'm always wondering what the hell will happen if the disease progresses and/or the medication stops working.
