Flare ups

Hi i would like to know what fellow sufferers advise to take to ease abdominal pains during a flare up.
Thank you in advance
Yvonne

  1. If it’s pain I use a heating pad and gas x. If it’s diarrhea, I use Imodium and or sometimes Metamucil to bulk up the stool. Bland food.

      1. During flare-ups and definitely use a heating pad religiously. I rest as much as possible. Drink lots of chicken and bone broth. Mostly stick to liquid diet for a day or two and have soups and smoothies. -Elizabeth (team member)
