I get that almost all the time. It feels as though my intenstines are
literally on fire or sometimes just hurt. I have had 5 stomach
surgeries due to adhesions. This is very normal for us that suffer this
damn disease. And you are right, every test will come back negative.
Unfortunately, we just have to deal with it. I have let me Pain
Management doctor know about this and he treats me with vicodin. Boy, a
lot of good that does when the pain is so bad and it is burning inside.
I swear, sometimes I get so damn down with this whole thing. I get
extrememly frustrated- But, then I come here and find that others are
going throught the same thing. Not that that makes it all better- it
just shows me that I am not going nuts... Hang in there.. One thing
that I do for it is eat super bland foods for a few days and it seems to
get better- for maybe a day or two. But, we have to count any good day
as a blessing. I hope this helps....
