I’m not a doctor . I have had Crohn’s for almost 50 years. I call my bathroom “ my office” because I’m always in there. Like someone who’s working all the time. I can take an hour or so. I tell myself relax and I look on my phone play a game or listen to comedians etc…. 3 hours ?? Keep trying to find a doctor that listens to you and that you respect enough to listen to them. Then you debate alittle. Try new things! I tried the biofeedback and the pelvic floor stuff and hurt my back bending up and putting my feet up on that step to go to the bathroom. I tried different and not for me. Next.

Hi, @plezbleevme714 - what you said about telling yourself to relax in the bathroom and play a game on your phone or listen to comedian, even up to 3 hours, sounds wise - just to go with the flow and be as relaxed as possible.

How has your Crohn's been lately? Did the biofeedback and the pelvic floor stuff (I believe you were referring to physical therapy?) help at all?
