Hello all, I need your opinions on my situation...

This am I woke up with nausea. Went to work and started having mild D. Came back home because the nausea was getting worse and once I reached the door to my apartment I vomited what would be called 'bile' (no food in it). I was able to sleep an hour and now I have really bad lower back pain. I don't feel as nauseous as this morning and don't have urgency with D.

I am in remission since 2010-ish, on remicade and never flared.. Is this a simple indigestion -stomach flu or would a flare have the same syptoms?

Thank you for any advices, opinions you can give....

Maybe you pulled a muscle in your back when you vomited? Sounds like a virus, really.

While vomiting I have slipped a disk. So you could have just tweaked your back like kazbern said. It does sound like a virus IMHO

Virus for sure. I just got over the flu with all the symptoms including vomitting.

Feel better.

Yep, I am better today! I still have lower back pain, it feels like its in my kidneys area.. will wait to see if it gets better in the next few days but I am so glad to know that a stomach bug will not necessarily trigger a flare!!! Thanks :)

PinkPaperClip - your original post did not ask that question! Any viral infection can trigger a flare IMO. Take care of yourself and be gentle on your tummy for a few days.
