hi everyone, this is my first post. ive had dd for 5 years, been in hospital twice. ive been having regular flare ups the past year on average every 2 months, could be stress but ive noticed a trend on the last 3 flare ups, each one happened the next day after doing stomach exercises ie the plank! i

took the stomach ache as after effects of the exercise, but soon recognised the symptoms as dd so off to the doctors for antibiotics.

Has anyone else noticed a connection like this?

I take aloe vera, probiotics and more recently apple cider vinegar.

I will definately get some fybogel as it appears to help many of you on this forum. Its been a nightmare getting advice from doctors which is frustrating to say the least!!! especially as it is so common and very dangerous if not treated quickly.

I will take any advice as I have it in my transverse colon so apparently having some if the bowel taken away would not be an option for me, but without seeing a specialist I dont really know if that is true or not.

Thanks guys we're all in this together!! 😃
