Tracy,

I Think I recall reading some of your other posts, and I recall that I have had some other similar symptoms as you...and here again is one of them.

I also do get pain "triggered" by a BM. Not always...and sometimes BM's do relieve the pain...but there are times when I am not having any symptoms, and then have a BM, and the pain begins.

I am not sure why this is? I wish I did. I sometimes think it may be due to the straining I tend to do...or the lack of motility in my bowels. I think my colon is sluggish, and when I sit down to have a BM, I may strain or try to get things moving, and this can trigger the cramping and pain.

I think if I would not have tried to have the BM, my sluggish colon would have been happy just sitting there, backed up with stool that wasnt moving the way its supposed to.

I have no idea if that makes any sense to you...

What are your other main complaints/ symptoms? Refresh my memory.

Thanks
A
