Ive been on the verge of remission but recently ive had lower left abdomen cramping/pain after my 1 morning BM. It kinda feels like a side ache after running but lower. It goes away after 15 mins. Sometimes i get it after eating a large meal too. This has been going on for a week. It doesnt feel like a burning pain with a flare but its been pretty consistent so i have no idea. Im a guy btw. Anyone else have this? Thanks

Sounds like spasms to me. I get this sometimes after a BM also.

I'd say spasming, but if you've been having it consistently with no diet changes, I'd lean more towards still flaring.

And, are you still on the Rowasa?

Yes still on rowasa. Does spasming feel like a cramp? Like side ache?

it can....do you have any antispasmodics?

You've been on Rowasa for how long....8 weeks?

What food changes lately?

How often are you having bms?

do you have lots of gas?

I do have lots of gas so maybe it could be that. I have one bm everyday, which is formed sometimes and then other days it is kinda spongey formed. Just depends. Been back on rowasa for about 7 weeks. It really feels like a cramp but since i dont want say im in remission, i wanted to check with you all.
