I know a lot of people have their own individual symptoms, but i am wondering if anyone else has this one. When my son is eating a meal sometimes right after hes done eating or even during him eating, he runs to the bathroom. Has anyone else had this symptom and does anyone know what it means? (He has CD and is starting Remicade soon :emot-dance: )
 
Hello,

When I'm in a flare I go thru the samething. If I eat anything I'm running to a bathroom. I have crohns in small and large intestines. I'm on predisone and just started imuran. I hope your son feels better. It can be really frustrating at times.
 
It is nothing unusual. When food enters the stomach (technically, even before that if you want to get Pavlovian), it triggers the start of he digestion process GI wide. The large intestine's motility kicks in and any food in the colon is moved into the rectum area, triggering urgency. It happens to those without IBD also, just to a lesser degree of urgency and frequency.
