i have been having severe stomach cramps for about 9 months now that have gradually been getting worse. It got so bad a month ago that i had o ring 999 and was in hospital for 6 days. They did a CT scan and have diagnosed me with chrons disease. They said that my upper bowel and lower stomach were inflamed and when i was trying to eat it has been causing the pain. I am now 3 weeks into a polymeric diet where i aim to drink up to 7 ensure plus milkshakes a day. The pain did subside but the last week it has come back. I now get a sharp, very intense shooting pain in my stomach that only eases when my stomach makes a loud rumbling noise. I am 28, male, usually weighing around 11.5 stone, but i am currently about 8.5 stone.
