Gas with in body cavity

Seems strange to put that in as a topic but that is what I experience I find I get gas within my joints almost to the point where it almost feels like rheumatoid arthritis or fibromyalgia or something that goes into the joints all the gas when I have an IBS attack. When I have those kind of attacks I also have a weak literally of insomnia. I feel like I am a unique individual when it comes to these things and I would love to know if others feel that this at all?


  1. I do know that when IBS flares up I get other aches and pains too. My knee hurts right now, my foot hurts, my lower back...
    And the last few days my gut hasn't felt great. I am getting normal bowel movements, but a lot of bloating, unease inside, and some windy-cramps.
    I have no idea if I have gas in the joints or not. That thought hadn't occurred to me. How do you know if you have that? But they have been aching anyway. I thought it was a change the last few days from dry heatwave weather to cooler, cloudy and some rain with a lot of humidity. That always affects me negatively.

    Sleep issues can run alongside IBS. They do with me. IBS flares create a kind of anxiety which equals not so good sleep as usual, or waking too early, or my belly feeling uneasy late at night. If my gut isn't so good it can even affect my dreams.
    I would say insomnia can definitely be a feature of IBS with some people.

    1. I always have gas in my joints. I rub my shoulder in order to burp. My grandmother used to do that years and years before anyone knew about IBS. I now feel vindicated in what I do.
