Intense pain/bloat

I am having horrible intense pain that has gotten worse as the hours pass. Im at work right now. Pain is above below left and right of belly button. I cant stand up straight. Gas pain or crohns pain? I feel like i need vicodin. Had horrible 2 hour diarrhea episode last night. Cant leave work as i am already off thursday for GI appt. does anyone get this?

I actually had those symptoms happen to me last summer. For absolutely no reason at all, my normal "flat belly" ballooned out like I was 7 months pregnant and it would be so incredibly painful! I went to my Dr, who wasn't much help, he gave me an antibiotic to take just to rule out any bacterial overgrowth. It was not gas.

I was under a lot of stress at the time, working full time, working out, and performing/practicing for a musical theater production 7 days a week. It was grueling and I was eating my not so normal stuff. I did everything I could to help with the pain - yoga moves, stretches, etc. In the end, I went back to being less stressed and started to eat the foods I normally do (instead of trips to McDonalds for fries for dinner) and my stomach went back to "normal" for me.

If you're feeling pain, go to the Dr. But I am telling you my experience so that you can make a food diary and how you're feeling to see if there is a correlation there as well.
