Frequent Urination

[cheeky]

*sorry, i just realized someone else has made a thread with this topic *

Hey,

Does anyone know if Crohn's disease can cause frequent or above average urination?

i usually go to the washroom the most at night... especially after i've been sleeping, on average i wake up 3-4 times to pee. everyone around me who's witnessed this, says i go pee a lot.

also, just now, i went to the movies (btw Wolverine is a GREAT movie, check it out!), and within 2 hours, i needed to go pee three times (pretty annoying when watching a movie).

i try to drink plenty of water, but i'd say even when i've tried not drinking much, it doesn't make a difference. also i've tried not drinking a few hours before bedtime - not much change, very rarely have i had a night where i've slept through without waking up to go pee.

also, i've been this way even before being on medication (i'm presently on Imuran 150mg)...

today, all i've had was a can of orange pop, and in total approx. 4 cups of water.

anyone else experience this?

i've been peeing a lot recently too. i'm on prednisone and 75mg of 6mp. i attribute it to drinking a lot. when i don't drink, i don't pee as much. you might check out your prostate (assuming you're male).

haha no, i'm not a male... i'm a female! what made you think i was a male? hey chicks like to watch Wolverine too! LOL

anyway, when i went to an info session about IBD and nutrition yesterday, it made me realize it is likely my insulin level causing the peeing... i gotta be careful with the amount of sugar/bad carbs i've been eating, especially at night.

so i'm gonna see if changes to my diet will make a difference with this pee prob
