I've suffered from alot of distension in my abdomen. I would be sooo uncomfortable, especially after I'd eaten anything however small the amount was. Recently it stopped. I think it is either because I stopped taking Prednisolone or because I started having Infliximab infusions. Not too sure which.

hi laura

i think a swollen tummy is really common with crohns, and any stomach condition actually. i know mine used to swell alarmingly, and would go really hard too.

i hope yours settles down quickly. heat helps sometimes, so does drinking hot water.

You're most certainly not alone. Every time I eat something my lower right abdomen becomes swollen (distended). As others have mentioned a hot shower, heating pad or warm water may help it.

And don't feel stupid for asking the question. Thats what the site is for =)

hi laura

i've never tried a heat patch, but i do have a hot water bottle, and it really is soothing when i have bad pain - probably a similar effect to the patches.
