I have had digestive problems through my life. I am 62. I have seen doctors had endoscope down the throat and colonscopy. Those tests were normal. But nothing previous is like what I have now. February I got sick with severe stomach pain. Diarreah and dry heaves. I went to the ER. They did a cat scan and blood work. Everything was mostly normal. My white blood cells were just a little tiny bit elevated. Gave me zofran and diet to eat for the next couple days. Then the same thing happened again in March then 2 times in April 2 times in May. I went to the doctor they did a ultra sound of my gall bladder, pancreas and liver. Said all looked normal. I did a stool test normal. I have an appt to see a gastero doctor. I have tried cutting out wheat products on celiac test I was normal. Have stopped dairy. Added probiotics. I have tried tracking what I eat to see if it can tell me if a food is causing it. When this happens it always starts the same way. I get stomach pressure like pain in the middle of my stomach low down. Then I get the sound of sloshing and swishing in my lower intestines. Then the D starts but is water. That goes on for a while when it stops the the swishing and sloshing sound starts up higher and then I start to dry heave. I am not looking for a diagnosis. I am just wondering if anyone else has had this happen.

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
It’s hard to answer because when you have Crohns or UC you can expect anyhting you describe except it’s usually constant during a flare, not intermittent.
