People with Crohn’s disease can experience flares when they take the wrong medication dose or don’t take it consistently. Smoking can also trigger flare-ups. Because stress also affects Crohn’s symptoms, most people suffering from the disease have learned to integrate techniques to manage stress into their daily routine.

However, Crohn’s disease symptoms can be unpredictable; because the condition can be progressive, symptoms could get worse over time. Cramping, diarrhea, watery bowel movements, and other symptoms can hit you without warning.

There is a long list of foods people with Crohn’s should avoid such as alcohol, dairy products, carbonated beverages, fried foods, and foods high in fiber. Sometimes, consuming something you’re not supposed to eat can activate symptoms.

You may find yourself at a party and don’t want to appear unappreciative of the dishes and drinks the host serves. You eat them anyway and hope for the best. Unfortunately, eating the wrong things can lead to flare-ups and symptoms can hit when you least expect it.

The Benefits of Always Packing an RS2 Waste Bag

When your Crohn’s acts up, you could be anywhere. You could be at home, at a friend’s house, stuck in traffic, or on the road miles away from the closest running toilet. Because you never know when a flare-up may occur, it’s essential always to carry an RS2 waste bag wherever you go.

Our Waste Bags utilize ‘Waste Alleviation and Gelling’ technology to make sure your pee and poop remains odorless and can be thrown away in any trash can. You can keep your RS2 bags in your purse or glove compartment, never leaving home without it as you would with your wallet and phone. You can store you Waste Bags with the rest of your car emergency must-haves along with your flashlight and First Aid kit. You can also keep them in your glove compartment, so they’re always within reach.

When you experience symptoms such as urgent bowel movements, you have a sanitary solution on hand for your bathroom needs. The Restop RS2 Waste Bag’s patented gas-impervious “bag within a bag” design takes care of both solid and liquid wastes. Its polymers and enzymes safely contain and neutralize human waste, turning them into a deodorized gel.

Each RS2 waste bag comes with ample toilet paper and moist antimicrobial wipe. Once you’re done doing your business, you can throw the used toilet paper and wipe into the bag along with your wastes, cinch the inner bag closed as you would a garbage bag. Seal the outer bag shut, ensuring you release any excess air. Don’t worry about the smell; the deodorizing enzymes have already taken care of the odors.
