I'm new to this message board but I was diagnosed with crohns disease in 2004 and had it under control for a while. I just had a baby in october and a few months after I started feeling bad but my doctor put me on entocort and it started to help a little until lately. I'm a marathon runner and whenever I run now I get intense cramping to the point where im running to the bathroom 4-5 times during even a short run of 5 miles. I take bentyl right before I run to hopefully prevent it but it doesn't seem to work anymore. I am doing a half marathon this saturday and I'm so nervous that I won't make it through. Does anyone have any advice with how to deal with this problem or advice on how to make myself relax so my stomach isn't in knots??

Hi, this board is closed now, but you can repost your question on either our Stomach, Digestive & Bowel Disorders board or on The Running Woman board. 

Best of luck for your 1/2 marathon!
