I get some mild cramping, especially if I wear anything too tight around my waist, but nothing major -- although the first time it flared up a couple weeks ago I had cramps so bad I was almost bent over. Going to the toilet relieved the pain, and those cramps haven't happened since. I've had those types of unbearable cramps for many years, but luckily, they happen only rarely. Right now, it's intermittent diarrhea interspersed with small hard stools. I always know when the diarrhea is coming as I hear some gurgling and spluttering in my colon, followed by sudden urgency. I wish it would just calm down and go away.
