So here I was thinking I was doing quite well for the past 2 years. I was exercising, working away, got married, new job.... eating salad! In mid June of this year, I noticed a chage in the pooping pattern (sorry to be gross, but I think everyone on here has heard it all). Not me, noooooo I'm doing good... right! In the time frame of 24 hrs I was going to an appt with my GI where he told me I was flairing. It wasn't bad, and we felt I could curb it with some enmas, and better eating. I have done this dance all summer long and now I'm to the point where I'm not making it to the bathroom. So now my GI wants me to get on Entocort. I have taken this before with decent results, I realy don't want to go on prednisone, so Entocort it is. I have 3 problems...
1) We were trying to get pregnant, my GI has discussed in the past with me that he does not want me on EC while preggers... I wont find that out for another 2 weeks or so. Do I just keep poopling myself until I find out. Most pregnany tests I have looked at can only give you a reading if you are 3-5 days away from your period... Im 2 weeks away!
2) I leave next week to go to Ireland to see my family. I do not want to be missing the bathroon over there, or having accidents on the plane... (ohhh please......nooooooooo)
3) I feel so down about this, my husband is great, very patient listens to me complain, realy all around a good guy. Its just hard to explain this to anyone who will understand. I don't want to do this again, I'm 32 and pooping my pants, when does it all end? I just have had enough. Maby I just need a good cry, and get over it.

Any advice, help would be great.... sorry to bumm you all out.
Woops! (see there was a reason behind my screen name)
 
HI WOOPS!, I just recently had a flare up and is on predisone for 8 weeks. Probably longer i had to cancel my camping trip for this week. My wife is not so understanding she got pissed at me but, my body says no! so, she's still going without me and her friends, so i have got some time to recover all by myself, hey no stress. but i know what your going though i have had crohn's for 21 years now i been in remission for 15 years but, it flared up again. and it is pain in the you know what! so, hang there it all will work it's way out.
 
Thanks so much, its good to know Im not alone in all this. I don't know any other people near me who have IBS. Sorry about your camping trip. I realy don't want to cancle going home to Ireland, I know I will be ok at my parents house, but its the plane that is worring me, and wether I should start pred or EC. Thanks again
