Was having a bit of a flare two days ago, mostly d not much pain or cramping thank g-d. A day or so in it started to get ridiculous, I was going to the b/r five-six times an hr. So I took a VERY small dose of Imodium which caused a bit of cramping, but stopped the d.

I didn't go for about a day. Today I had a bm and it was just awful. Here's where it gets fun; after bm started getting some nausea which was ok really, just a little nausea. about an hour later got really dizzy and room started spinning, just waves of dizziness. Had to lie down, felt like I was going to faint otherwise.

Doing water and powerade now. Does anyone have any suggestions/ideas/experience with this? Could it be a stomach virus? Idk, I can't wait for my remicade.

It sounds like dehydration. The water and Gatorade may not be enough. Try going to the emergency room. You may need to get an iv. I have had problems with dehydration and had to spend several days in the hospital. But with Crohn's it is important to stay hydrated.

that happened to me when i got dehydrated and my potassium was low. I was admitted for a few days for iv fluids and iv potassium.

I'm definitely considering going to the emergency room for iv fluids, etc, but for now d has been less frequent. If d becomes worse again it's straight to the emergency room for me.

Thanks for the speedy and helpful replies!

I've been feeling really dizzy this evening. I haven't been feeling well all week and now the dizziness hit me. I'm hoping it's a stomach bug but I don't know. Keep us posted abstract!
