Here we go again!
or so it seems. For the past three weeks, he's in the bathroom a LOT, feeling the urge to go, but not always able, and generally feeling crummy. His GI has him on Miralax, and I'm now supposed to double the dose, which is helping a bit. He did need an enema last week and that left him feeling a lot better. But the constant trips to the toilet and not producing anything is getting old. Plus he's been having bloating and nausea on and off -- which worries me the most because it could mean that the scar tissue/stricture he had/has in his small intestine has been irritated again and is heading toward another partial obstruction. And that's what almost landed him in surgery about two years ago.
He's going back to see the GI next week. I sure hope we can get to the "bottom" of this (yeah, I know, bad Crohn's pun) and resolve these symptoms. This is not the best way to start off the first year of high school.
