I do, not always but sometimes. I also will develop food aversion during major flares. Inflamation and fever usually leaves me not wanting to eat anything. I also have to be more careful of what I eat during flares-no tomatoes for one thing.
You are not alone-oh, and welcome to the forum.

yeah it basically sometimes goes hand in hand, sometimes from the meds we are taking and sometimes it could be other factors... This is why I try to be careful of what I eat...but its hard, beucase we will have good days with our stomachs, and other days we wont...

just try to hang in there, and try to drink some green tea when ur stomach acts up like that...Sometimes I get these horrid gas pains..its like my body doesnt want to let me fart...LOL sorry if im getting to decriptive here, but its true...So I just take Gas X and sometimes Pepto depending on my stomach, and hope 4 da best...LOL

feel better
