I am very new to this site, so this is a first for me. I have had Crohns disease since 2006, was diagnosed after an extremely tragic event in my life so lets just say I don't handle stress all that well. I had my colostomy surgery in 2010 and unfortunately I only had a short reprieve from the Crohns symptoms. I am currently not on any treatment for the Crohns as I do not have health insurance and in the past either the medications have not worked or I have had a bad reaction to them. I have been told that I have severe fistulizing Crohns disease and the only treatment I have been offered is more surgery. So that is some of my background. Lately I have been experiencing episodes of very foul burps and alot of gas in my stomach. Within hours of this starting I get severe diarrhea and cramping in my stomach so bad that I can't get up off my bed. Has anyone experienced anything similar to this and does anyone know what could be causing it? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
