Does this sound similar?

Hi, So at the moment am diagnosed- but the GP seems to think I have some form of IBD.I have been experiencing- about once every 1 or 2 months, absolutely crippling bouts of stomach pain that start in my stomach and then moves down to my lower abdominal area. Like 10 out of 10 pain, feels like it is all inflamed inside. And when i get these episodes even a paracetamol I can’t keep down and a vomit it up, although Biscopane has seemed to help in the past.  The last episode was worse than the others, was in so much pain 111 sent around an ambulance and I ended up in hospital for a few hours because my blood pressure was so low. I couldn’t eat for about 4 days after this last episode and my lower abdomen still hurt 2 days after so much that it was painful to walk, and I was also incontinent for about 2 days and resorted to wearing an adult style nappy!  Was really very unwell. Do other people have flare ups this bad and does it sound like a form of IBD? Am a bit worried about how bad it was last time. You see previously by the evening after a ‘flare up’ I can eat a banana and normally feel better after a day or two. But after this last time even 1.5 weeks later still have lower right pain in my back all the way through to my front right side of pelvis. Have an appointment with the specialist next Thursday. Previously thought was IBS, but GP says he thinks it sounds very much like a type of colitis. Just curious what you would think?
