Periods of severe abdominal cramping
by CFB25, Nov 04, 2008 07:28PM
I have had Crohn's disease for five years now and it has been relatively controlled. I am currently on Imuran and am not sure whether that is actually helping.
However over the last year I have noticed times where I would get sudden onsets of severe abdominal cramping, diarrhea (normailly always constipated), and nausea. I would be running back and forth to the bathroom every five to ten minutes and this would last for a period of two to four hours. After I would have a very tender abdomen and feel like anything I ate could trigger another "attack". In the last few months I have noticed that these attacks have been coming more often.
I am not sure whether this is from the Crohn's disease or if it is something else. I have tried to cut out different foods but have found that lately it does not matter what I eat. When I get the cramps like this I can not do anything as it is hard to even move cause it is so painful.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing this?
