Ok Guys Really Freaking Out /:

I've been having upper left abdominal pain now for four days now. Bleeding has stopped but now I have urgencies. 2BM a day which are loose (sorry for the detail)
But this pain is scaring me.
My father is being checked for either stomach/colon cancer which is even worse.
If you guys have any idea please let me know

Trapped gas maybe? That can be painful. Do you feel as if you have a bubble/pressure under the left side of the ribcage?

It sounds like trapped gas. I know the feeling. When I was diagnosed, I could not relese gas for months. Try a genly massage like this:

Whats that saying... when you hear hooves dont assume zebras. ... or some crap.

Trapped gas, cramping... all very normal with UC.

Only you can determine whether you need to be seen. I can tell you that I have a lot of pain with a UC flare up. Every time I go to the bathroom I have a good deal of cramping and pain. I would imagine it's unlikely you have cancer or pancreatitis, but if you seriously think it's possible, you should go get checked out.

I have the type of discomfort you seem to be describing regularly. Depending on the day, it could be in one place or along a greater length of my colon. It's really noticeable if I try to lay on my stomach. I can't decide if it's gas or if it's the sensation of having bulky stool in my angry intestines. That said, I have a trusty tube sock I've filled with rice that I heat up in the microwave for this problem. It works like a heating pad that forms around the places I need the direct heat. I've never been able to get a heating pad right where I need it to rest. The weight, heat and moisture help me. I also lean into it during BMs. I feel it helps me go more completely. It's important for me to point out that I have constipation issues with my UC. I've even had loose stools and constipation at the same time! Never thought that could happen.

Have the loose stools been enough to empty you...comparing output to input? I'm loose today, but I'm seeing Asacol...which I stopped taking 4 days ago. So I know I'm still constipated. I just started 6mp and I think that's why I'm loose. Who really knows though. I have a lot of mild cramping throughout my intestine today and it feels like the part of my intestine that runs above my stomach is in a vice. When I get the feeling you are describing, it's usually on my upper left side and it feels like I'm laying on a ping pong ball if I lay on my stomach. I'm thinking more about the gas others have mentioned above because I really haven't noticed myself passing gas very much. Maybe that's part of it!

Well, for what it's worth, I have that feeling somewhat regularly. I just had a scope w/biopsies a few weeks ago and there wasn't anything going on other than UC.
