Let me tell my story. I ve had this come and go on and off the past few yrs. what happens is I get the bent over stabbing abdominal pains that last a few hrs then subside and I'm left bloated and sick for a few days usually with a mild fever. Back in April I went to the doc for it and they did an mri on my abdomen. It showed a bit of inflammation in my ascending colon. Gave me antibiotics and sent me home. Happened again in June. Ended up at a specialist who ordered a barium drink X-ray thing. Said I didn't need a colonoscopy because I had one in 2012 and everything fine just some ibs. To make a long story shorter everything looked good. All blood tests good everything came back fine. Well it happened again. I'm very stressed out from work. I'm a total hypochondriac. I obsess over things all day long. Can stress cause this inflammation that causes these painful attacks? I'm just worried that it came back. I've done all the googling and I know I shouldn't. It definitely hasn't helped. Is it all just stress? Having a hard time wrapping my head around that. I'm 41 and in pretty good shape except for this. Anybody?
