Sore gut after bad flare up

So the initial nightmare flare up & cramps on Sunday night/Monday has now eased off.

I can't say it's calmed down because I'm left with the worst lower abdominal pains and extreme sore feeling inside. Just putting my feet on the ground to walk seems to jolt!

Feeling of bad bloating but actually I don't look bloated - so am assuming this is visceral pain?

Not passing any wind even though it feels like this would help. Does anyone identify with such a horrible inside soreness after a flare up, especially low down almost in the pubic area?

I don't get it as bad as you but when I've had an episode of bad bloating, my abdomen feels bruised and sore for a few days afterwards. I've often thought it feels like my inside are raw from being irriated and stretched. Mine is usually in the middle of the abdomen, rather than lower down though and it luckily doesn't prevent me eating.

Absolutely! Keeps me awake for whole nights sometimes .

As always, if it’s new for you get checked out.

Sometimes this goes on and on no matter what I do. Best advice is watch what you eat particularly additives like sweeteners, thickeners, preservatives etc, we don’t always know the rubbish we are being fed and it matters.

Not what you're looking for?
