Flare up without too much pain ?

Started with severe bloating almost 2 weeks ago and terrible heartburn and then the nausea which has persisted.

Had some occasional abdominal pain but not too severe.

Keep thinking I will feel ok but am wiped out and feel nauseous.

I think my question is - can you have a flare up without intense pain? My previous flare ups have come on with excruciating pain whereas now I just have the odd tinge.

Thanks

    Yep, I have had many flares without severe pain. They are mostly inflamation in me but sometime I have had antibiotics. For me that niggling pain can last a long time. Treat it the same as other flares. Liquids for 2 days. Low residue diet then gradually add in more fiber. Still worth getting checked by a doctor to make sure its not infected or something else.

    Yes. Right now going through a flare up with some pain, but not too bad.

    Gas, bloating, loose stools and fatigue
