Two possibilities - Unfortunately inflammatory bowel disease (including crohns and colitis) goes right along with spondyloarthritis in a lot of people. That, and the second possibility that drugs like NSAIDs are hard on your gut, so they can cause nasty rumblings and worse. Its definitely worth mentioning to your rheumatologist though, and if it gets too bad, don't hesitate to ask your GP to refer you to gastroenterology. That would mean scoping from either or both ends though if they really want to check properly for inflammatory bowel disease.
in the early days everytime me stomach started then it would hurt i have been told all this can go if you get rid of the stomach bug on the enthesis site but i think after looking at your post i have mainly the same as you earthwitch some sort of spondy that has knackered one knee up true style.
this i think has had other conciquences on my other knee and feet with a bit of verry mild back ache.
im sure on the left knee im only running on one cartlidge on the outside.
and am still doing quite a bit of sweating though not as much.
its like if your body is out by 1/4 inch it realy affects other areas of your skeliton.
got rid f this 1991 2005 now im struggling at pulling back i think without having that knee ripped into OR I MAY STAMD CORRECTED THAT THE PROBLEM IS ENTESSIS AT THE ATTACHMENT POINTS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS
