A question-

[Shoeless]

Ok a bit wierd but since most people here have crohns Thought i'd ask.
Does you intestines feel like they are spazing after you go #2 when you've had to hold it for any period of time? Or is this just me. The cramping really hurts at times I've never been able to ask anyone else so Thanks in advance.
Any Tips on how to stop the cramping?

Yeah I get that when I flare.

Nothing much to do with cramps except find a corner, curse out the cramps, and hope they go away soon. At least that is what I do.

Yes, sometimes the cramping is there. Haven't had that in a long time, though. I found walking it off helped and some stretching.

 

[Mazen]

Yes, sometimes. I also feel very tired and nauseated. You just have to wait for it to go by it's own. It's a crappy feeling, I know... Or maybe try an anti spasm medicine like Buscopan

There is also Dicyclomine which was developed to reduce spasms in the intestine in people with IBS. I wouldn't really suggest it unless the spasms are quite problematic though.
