there are lots of reasons/causes. unfortunately there is no easy way to confirm what.

increasing intake of oral magnesium will help the body move the bowel motion through. Along with increasing intake of water and having spoonful of coconut oil.

prior to confirming my MC diagnosis, I was hospitalised 3 or 4 times in my teen years and young adult years with cramping pains (worse than birthing contraction pain) and had them periodically. they never figured out why.
with MC Dx, once I followed the low inflammation eating plan they have never happened again.

Hi David,

Voltaren is an NSAID and it is one of many types of medications that can increase inflammation for many MC patients. For people who do not have an IBD, NSAIDs reduce inflammation. But for many MC patients (and probably most IBD patients), NSAIDs have the opposite effect and they cause more inflammation by promoting the production of leukotrienes.

So if the injection makes your symptoms worse it means that you are sensitive to NSAIDs (Non-Steroid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs), similar to most of us here). A stenosis should be obvious in a scan.

That's what my scan showed (a CT scan) — increased thickness.

Buyed magnesium glycinate to try out, couldn't find chelated version, so we'll see how it works, starting pentads' today, and I also asked doc to prescribe me a vit D- 25 OHd3 test.
