for those with IBD abdominal pain....where do you get it and how would you describe it?

The worst thing I've ever experienced. Severe, crampy, thought I was dying when first got UC.

I don't generally get abdominal pain. To be fair, though, for a long time I only had ulcerative proctitis. However, a few months ago I started having transient left-sided pain, like a line along my left abdomen: crampy but not usually acutely painful. Sometimes I also get an ache low in my pelvis. And when I'm really flaring, the cramping of the actual bowel movements can be very painful in my glutes.

The first symptoms I had were abdominal pain. . It feels like trapped gas and when its bad, burning. The pain moves around my abdomen.
I had many tests before finally getting an colonoscopy in 2013. The Gastroenterologist diagnosed me with UC after seeing inflammation. Later he gave me a second diagnoses of "irritable bowel syndrome and Ulcerative Colitis".
With Asacol I eventually went into remission with the UC. about 80% of the Irritable bowel pain has gone away with diet changes. Unfortunately the irritable bowel flares up when I'm stressed.
