Recently, I've been having rather painful intestinal cramps, and am unsure of exactly what it is. I'll try to describe this as frankly as possible. You know when when you have gas, and you can feel grumbling and the gas moving around your intestines, causing a brief uncumfortable cramp or something similar, but as soon as you fart, it goes away. Well, I've been feeling the exact same thing, but its prolonged. It feels like the exact same thing, but for lack of better terms, I have gas constipation, as in it feels like my stomaches cooking up a lot of gas due to something I ate, feeling tons of cramps, but never end up relieving it. Its been going on for about 3 days now. I first starting feeling a bit sickish, like the flu, and got all the common symptons, like headech, body aches, and weakness. The first night I took some advil, and since then have not felt any of the previous flu like symptoms, only this reocurring intestinal cramps. The closest thing that fit my symptoms was ibs, but I'm pretty sure its not that.
Any insight to what it might be would be very helpful. I am new to this sight, so I hope I posted this in the right place.
