If I drive more than a 1/2 hour somewhere my intestines start to really really hurt. I would describe the pain as dull and very sore. For long trips, I've had to get disposable heating pad stickers to manage. After I am out of the car, the soreness stays for a while.

This isn't something that bentyl helps, or tylenol.

Just wondering if anyone else get this, and what they do..

I only get that feeling when I'm flaring. It's like the bumping and jarring of the car in motion tends to aggravate my guts or something. Are you flaring at the moment?

Yes, not horribly though. I have no blood, just in a lot of pain. I guess it could even be IBS related.

I get the same pain! Sometimes it comes on suddenly so bad to where I am literally immobolized and cannot move at all. Then for about 15 mins I have to lay on the floor and let it take its course. This happens when not flaring, I can't imagine what it would feel like flaring.

It also happens really bad in airplanes I've found. So I'm not a huge fan of flying anymore. Have you found anything that reduces the duration of the pain? Stretching and yoga seem to help, along with breathing techniques. Sorry couldn't be more help
