> Another weird/fascinating factor for me at least is that less convenient access to a toilet seems to correlate with less symptoms. When I'm hiking in the mountains I never seem to have a high frequency of needing to take a dump.
Not Chron's but a related disease. For me the symptoms are strongly correlated with how embarrassing it would be if I had to go. So hiking in the mountains is pretty relaxed (unless it's a date or something), just find a spot off trail. In the chair at the dentist with instruments in your mouth and a bib on? All of a sudden I've gotta go.

Not to dismiss your observations but to supply an alternative explanation for your belief about them: Do you remember your embarrassing experiences vs the not embarrassing ones equally well? A selective memory can give the illusion of correlation. Moreover once you have some belief you may become better at finding and remembering confirming evidence for that belief.
