Hi for the last week or so i have been getting stomach pains across my tummy button area about 1/2 hr after eating it does not seem to matter what i eat my stomach then starts to churn and make very loud noises it feels like my stomach is popping inside then i have to go to the toilet sometimes it is only wind but can't take the chance am seeing my GP tomorrow do you think it is worth mentioning have had a lot of stress lately could be that or starting to flare what do you think.

I have been having the same thing happening to me the past couple of weeks too...i keep wondering if i am starting a flare but so far it hasn't gone further than that...i will be curious what you hear back...I have not done anything different with my diet or meds other than i started exercising again?

How odd i started exercising again too lol our bodies don't like it back to laying on the sofa it is then, will let you know what GP says.

My churning stopped when I tested intolerant to wheat and cut out all gluten.

Lambkins, i agree with you....laying on the couch is MUCH more fun :) Hope your appt goes well tomorrow and will be curious what he says..sometimes my stomach is so loud my husband can hear it across the room!

Peety, I was tested for those and came back fine..still went ahead and tried a gluten free diet (only because i didn't believe them) but unfortunately it didn't make any difference :(

I hate the stomach grumbles! They always seem to be loudest after dinner. Doesn't seem to matter what I eat. Though the problem seems to be slightly less now that I take a probiotic after dinner.

Sounds like gas pains.  I get those all the time.  Did you try laying on your left side in fetal position?  That helps you pass the gas and you should feel better pretty quickly.  A heating pad helps too.  Probiotics definitely help.  My gas pains are nowhere near as bad as they used to be since I started taking Culturelle twice a day.

Hi G/P thinks maybe start of a flare as my esr levels are up and has given me 2wks of Asacol foam to try to see if it will make any differance hope so as the pain is getting worse.

Lambkins, Sorry to hear you may be at the start of a flare...good thing you saw your GI...hope the Asacol Foam keeps it at bay!
