I have such extreme C. Most of the time I am not sure whether I am flaring or not, because I don't have the same symptoms, except last week and still continuing.
I bloat horribly, and I add on #s. I know you know the bloating but packing on the lbs - does this happen to anyone else?
To clarify - the minute I have a BM my weight drops the amount I added while developing the C.

Hi Lesley,
I am sorry I do not have words of wisdom.
I just want to say I hope you can get control of the C. Did you ever have the extreme D with your MC? If you did - is the C a side effect from meds being taken? I read posts last week about how you had gone so long with C, but eventually you were able to go. Was it from something someone may have recommended as far as a food to relieve it? Sorry, I'm asking too many questions. Just want you to know that you are being thought of and I hope you do find comfort soon.

Paula,
I have always suffered from C. All my life. But I had 24/7 fire hose D for a long time, and couldn't get it under control. That's when I was dx'd with MC. I have been on narcotic pain killers since 2003, though I take as little as possible. The meds I have been on probably caused both C and MC.
When I went onto my very restrictive diet C came back, big time, no matter how much laxative I take.
A few days ago I cooked apples with palm oil shortening, which set off a flare. In my case it caused wonderfully relieving BMs, but also bloating, pain, headaches etc.
Now I am building up C again
. I can't find a happy medium.
Thanks for thinking of me.
