Do you ever sleep or ever have a normal bowel movement?!

[Kendra2276]

Hello.

This might be a weird question so here it goes.

If I have a bowel movement before bed, I essentially sleep through the night. Might get up 1 time to go pee.

If I do not go before bed, I pee all night long. Up down, up down, up down, etc. When I go pee, I pass a lot of gas. Think its the one main reason why I go pee is to release the pressure. The more I pee at night, the more likely I will have diarrhea in the am. Pee three times at night might have a slight upset stomach in the morning whereas if I get up six times, I am going to for sure have diarrhea upon waking. I do not drink water before bed or throughout the night.

Does anyone have problems with sleeping? Any unusual symptoms and if so how do you cope?

Also, do you ever have a normal bowel movement? I feel like more often then not my stools are always loose.

I am in remission and I only have one solid normal bowel movement per day. I typically go right after I get out of bed in the morning. However, I had a flare earlier this year, and I am currently tapering off prednisone, so hopefully this remission will continue.

When I was flaring, I would wake up at least once during the night and I wouldn't have diarrhea, but I would get cramps and pass a lot of gas. I did lose at least an hour of sleep at night, and my one solution was that I tried to get to bed an hour earlier to help compensate for my sleep loss. Also, a heating pad was also very comfortable for the cramps.

Sleep disruption for passing stool and the loose bowel movements seem to me as signs of active inflammation. Check it with your doctor
