The other night I had excrutiating stomach cramps. I felt like I had gas too but I couldn’t pass it. I had nausea and vomitted once (that made the cramps better). I did not have diarrhea. The cramps started out mild and progressed to very bad within two hours and lasted about 3 hours after that. This happened once before a year ago and I went to the ER thinking it was my appendix. After being tested for a ct scan for appendix and ovaries, the ER doc sent me home with a diagnosis of cramps with no named cause and a prescription of bentyl. I had some pills left so I took one and I guess it helped becuase my cramps went away. This was two nights ago. I have only had mild cramps (like a dull pain that moves around, not always in the same place) If the cramps come back I plan on making an appointment. I want to ask the doc all the right questions. Does it sound like it could be IBS so I can inquire about it?

Last night around 9:00am, I started having a stomach ache. It wasn’t bad just like regular stomach discofort. I thought it could be sour stomach so I took an antacid. Around, 11:00 the cramps started to get very bad and I could not sleep. About two hours later, I decided to take a bentyl ( I was prescribed this last year when I went to the ER for bad cramps I thought was appedicitis. But, I was sent home with just a diagnosis of stomach cramps which is why I decided not to go to the ER last night and wait to see how I felt in the moring) The bentyl started working but I had nausea and ended up vomiting. After I vomited the cramps started going away. I feel fine this morning my stomach aches a little but I think it is because it is empty. In addition to the cramps, I had nausea, chills, no fever though, the urge to pass gas but couldn’t. Any ideas what it could be. I feel good now so I wait till tomoorow to see if I should go to the doctor.
