As many of you know, I have been home on rest fighting tooth and nail this latest Crohn's flare. I have been feeling better and better every day. I have finally hit the 3-digit mark in my weight and the appetite is coming back, with some crazy cravings. I blame the devil's drug on that one.
However, this past week my guts have been rather loud with gurgling, but the thing that is getting on my nerves is my output is SOOOO FOAMY! Like the head of a cold glass of beer. This is causing me to have to drain at least 4-5 times in an hour. How is one supposed to get rest with all this running back and forth to the bathroom to empty?
I am taking an Imodium AND a Buscopan prior to eating, but that only helps with the pain and cramps, settles the guts. Anyone else have this foamy output? How do you deal with it? Any suggestions? I'll try them.... This is really driving me insane, especially through the night when I wake with a full bag of foam and air and HOPE I make it in time and there isn't an explosion or leakage.
Thanks for the input on the output situation.

Yeah wow, this site helped so much, I mean really who do you know with this infliction? No one, felt so alone and disgusted by myself every turn.
But it ended up being so damn strengthening, I got fucking moving, really only another choice.
That's
