Usually for me the most times i go is during the morning... its weird
anyways it starts as formed stool and then i just pass bubbly mucus does anyone know what this could be?

flaring most probably. The bubbly mucus would be fuelled by gas/air/fast moving colon. What do you eat on a daily basis, what meds? and what supplements do you take?

Prednisone 45 MG, 3rd remicade infusion, and i have a normal diet .. besides nuts and seeds also no fiber because my doctor said not to.
I feel like my symptoms are getting better, but usually in the morning i go the most and after a few bowel movements i pass mucus a few times and i'm fine for the rest of the day. is there a way to stop this?
Also i take steriod enemas at night which i dont think are helping but my doctor says to remain on them

A lot of people a worse in the mornings. I have noticed a lot of people on here commenting on that. Do you take your meds in the mornings? Maybe by the next morning the meds have started to wear off until you take them again? That's the only theory I have.

I have 15 MG 3x a day. One in the morning once in the afternoon and once at night. I took my 15 mg a few minutes ago actually. I still go once or twice during the night so i'm not sure if thats the reason but it is a good theory i was actually thinking so also. but i usually feel better after i pass all that mucus, maybe my system is detoxing itself?

I used to go to CCFA support group meetings. There was a guy there that helped run it. He said he always had to set aside extra time in the morning and start his work day late because his bowels were the worst in the morning. I have also seen several posts on here where people mention having multiple BMs in the morning and then being better. Maybe they should research that.

As per circadian rhythm mornings is when most of us go. Also of you take your meds in the mornings its logical after 24hrs their effects wear off a little till you take your next dose.

I just wish i could go back to having 2-4 bm's a day. I want to get my life back in order!! :(

Mornings have always been my bad time. People think I'm "lazy" because I do not start my work day until 11:30..it's because I've been pooping since 6! Luckily I am self employed.
