On my 3rd week from hospital and antibiotics. I get major pain at times still that cause bad headaches nausea, high blood pressure and pulse. Ugh takes awhile for it to go away. Scares me. I lay down hug a heating pad and take a tylenol. Puts my anxiety into panic. Anyone else go through this pain and gas.

Yes it’s all part of this disease. Anxiety makes it worse. The heating pad is good. Ask your doctor for Bentyl. It helps relax the bowel from spasms. You’ll be fine just have to adjust to the right food choices. Insoluble foods are to be eaten in limited amounts. Such as skins, seeds. Google insoluble foods. You’ll be able to read about how they can cause problems. Take care.😘

Keep your bowels moving. Miralax is good. Cook food in crockpot or until soft. Avoid meat unless ground meat and gradually add some fiber to diet. I watch amount of fiber because it irritates me. You know if your intestines are inflamed buy a burning when you have a bowel movement. I can’t eat nachos at all. They are hard for me to digest. I don’t eat popcorn and haven’t in ten years. You’ll adjust and I tell everyone I eat what agreed with me and it’s not much that is healthy. Raw veggies I can’t tolerate as well as fruits so applesauce, canned peaches are my fruit choices. Every now and again I peel and apple or fresh peach. Take care and try not to worry. I know it’s eady for me to say but I’ve been dealing with this for twenty years. Xo

My recoveries have been slow also. I blame the anxious feeling on the antibiotics. At least a good portion! My last ER visit was Feb3 and the nausea finally went away a week ago. I still have pain that comes and goes now but had it throughout the antibiotics.
I can’t seem to add a lot of fiber in or I’m miserable! Tylenol and heating pad help.
It’s a crazy problem and everyone is so different in their recovery. I have found the Drs are not very helpful. They give two choices surgery or the same antibiotics that make you so sick!
