does anyone have trouble bending/stretching or laying on their stomach?

i have crohn's in the terminal ileum. i have not been able to lay on my stomach for months now, it hurts right in the upper center of my abdomen if i do. also, i can't crouch/bend down for very long. and when i stretch, if i put my arms back too far, same thing. it's always that same area that hurts, hardly ever does my right side hurt, i mean, nothing even comparable to the pains i get in my upper center abdomen. it's been exceptionally worse lately. my whole abdomen is so puffed up i feel that if i was poked hard enough my intestines would shoot out like silly string! just want to know if that's normal (what the heck IS normal with this disease!?). i have been pretty good sticking to the low residue foods since my popcorn incident, but it feels like after i eat my food stays high in my gut. almost like i over-ate. i feel like i am going to turn into a giant blueberry like violet in willy wonka and the chocolate factory

any input would be sincerely appreciated!

I haven't laid on my stomach for years what kind of Bm's are you having ?Hopefully things will work better soon I would look up info on the TI and see what they are saying on that part of the digestive track there are so many different parts in there. lol gail

hi gail. right now i am having 1 bm every day or every other day. huge improvement from 5-6 d bms a day! it almost seems like i am not going enough?

yogaprof, i have not been very active for the last few months due to pain. maybe yoga is something i should try as it seems it would be easier on me. thanks for the input :)
