Stomach pains!!!

[xBettyBoopx]

Oh blimey! Got crippling stomach pains. Usually go to loo (know what I mean?) and pains will go, but I can't go to loo and pains are still there which are making me anxious!! Never thought I would get anxious and afraid about a stomach ache!!

I suppose it could be IBS, have had looseness lots of times in the past, even had a sigmoidoscopy, but never used to get pain with it.

Going to be up all night now until the pains go away. I suppose I'll be thinking soon that I have bowel cancer or something like it!!

Oh the joys of being me!!!!!!!!

Hi Els

Maybe a tummy bug, you know a 24 hr thing. Lots about this time of year.

Try not to worry...says she..lol.

How is Sassy doing, hope she has settled in and her company is bringing you some pleasure.

Have you been out much in the car yet, or is it still early days for that kind of challenge.

Hope you feel better soon

Big hug for you and one for Sassy

Take care

Sue xx

Ive had a couple of tummy bugs over the past few months. The last one i had i couldnt sleep for the pain but it went after a couple of days. There are plenty of bugs going around at the moment so maybe you have one ? Hope you feel better soon.

I get IBS but get constipated rather than loose stools. What's the pain like? I get a bloated, spasmodic pain...very noisy tummy, sounds like my tummy's rumbling with hunger but it's much louder!! I find myself apologising for it!

Try not to worry about too much...don't force yourself to go as then you could end up with piles (oh yes, i've had them too!)...drink plenty of water, maybe have a warm bath or hot water bottle.

And just to make you smile (it makes me smile), I once went to the doctor worried about blood in my stools, endured a rather yucky procedure then realised it was because i'd been eating lots of beetroot!!! D'oh!
