for the ladies--diarrhea during "that time of the month.."?

Hi ladies,  I am kind of in a rush, buthave been very concerned bc I have had diarrhea for 2 days now (I have not had any at all before this...)  I was worried it was Crohns but then realized I also have my period, and used to get D during that time of the month when I had a colon.  I just thought that would not happen anymore since the colonis gone...

sometimes...but what I eat could be causing it, too.  I tend to eat more "sugary" things when I pms and that does send things into a tizzy all on it own!

Hey,
I noticed I get diarhea around my period too. I thought this was very odd at first and talked to my doctor about it, but for me she said it was normal. I only have an ileostomy with all of my colon left and apparently there is still mucous in the colon that needs to be expelled. The cramps from having my period seem to make it all worse.

Dx/ed October 2003,

yep that happens to me too

Whew--I am relieved!  The D has finally slowed down after 2 straight days..!  I was just really worried bc my poo has been pretty thick since right after I got home from the hospital, and it really has been complete liquid--and lots of it--for the past 2 days...!  I almost had my first leak when I woke up in the early morning (usually may bag is about 1/4 full, and I just get up and empty it), but this morning it literally was over 3/4 full of liquid..! :(  I jumped up out of bed as soon as I realized...!

me too...not as much as b4 i had the ostomy tho
