Hi! I'm still fairly new to the group and have lots of questions! I hade my takedown in April of this year and I guess I have done pretty well. One flare of UC in the tiny bit of rectum left and a hospitalization from catching a stomach virus. Also extreme anxiety. Does anyone experience abdominal pain late in the afternoon and evening? I feel pretty good during the day but about 3-4 o'clock I start cramping and feeling a lot of urgency. If I go home and lay down it helps, but it is just a very acute pain that comes and goes. I thought it might be gas but took Beano with no relief. I am baffled.

Yes, Hoping, that is how most of my days go. If there's anything urgent I need to do, I try to do it earlier in the day. I'll even try to walk my dog earlier because I never know what the later hours will bring. I'm not sure why this happens, maybe just more food in our systems that our pouches are reacting to. I cut out most dairy and that seems to be helping.
Thanks Lambiepie. It is comforting to know this is not uncommon. I just did not realize so much pain would still be involved. I really think I may be on the edge of a flare so I am going to get back on the flagyll and see if that helps. GI had given me bentyl for cramps, but it really does not seem to help. Getting a little discouraged that everyday at the same time I just want to curl up in a ball and sleep!
