Ugh I can't stop going

Hi all,

As you may know my ostomy reversal was june 20th.  I have been having D and loose stools since then.  On agv now a days I go between 2 and 4times.  I dont know if it is stress right now but I have gone 6 times today and eaten very little.  My nana did pass away last week and the funeral was yesterday.  I am still on the medrol dose pack which helped my joints lots.  Pred always makes my belly better (with exception of the perforation in Feb.)

What should I do? should I take half of an imodium, I am already eating bland low residue....

STRESS! As indeed stress does not cause CD it can aggravate it! Need to learn to calm down. Now, I realise that a passing of a loved one is indeed very stressful. But try EFT, Yoga, or listening to Hearts of Space (HOS is a contemplative music programme as hosted by Stephen Hill out of San Francisco. Each week there is a new programme www.hos.com). Learning how to relax is no easy chore, but once mastered, you will be amazed at the results!

I have only a mild form of Crohn's Ileitis and as I listen "religiously" as I have since the mid 1980's, the music is soothing and helps to relax and just let the stress "melt" away. So whatever technique suits you best, please do it!
