Question about BMs...

[CDN_Crohns]

Hi Everyone I am new around here and have been searching for an answer to a problem i have...

Recently (since about a year ago) my BM pattern has changed and I am not sure if it is due to a diet change or because I am just finishing developing fully (i am a 20 years old male) anyways...

So normally, and i say normally knowing that what most of us put up with is not 'normal', I have 2-3 BMs in the morning within about an hour and then im off to the races for the day; no problems. Well over the past year the BMs have been really inconsistent. In the past I always had semi-formed BMs and this had been my normal since i was diagnosed; however now it is varied quite a bit. some days very loose, others very solid, others both (in the same morning) and quite frankly i don't know how to explain it.

Just before this began I came off a 3 month flare which i put down as stress from exams but now I dunno what to time. I have a colonscopy scheduled for may 4 just to check things out but i am hoping some here has the answer.

Thanks for the help

Hello and welcome to the forum. For the last 15 years I have had these same issues....really no consistancy in when or what. I would go from constipation to severe d and then normal and back and forth. To this day, even on meds, and disease seems to b under control, things are unpredictable. Some days Im in the bathroom all morning, and other days Im constipated to no end...and miserable. I wish you luck
