Usually there are underlying symptoms. I had gas pains bad, with diarrhea, and it turned out to be celiac desease. My wife had some of the same symptoms, and her's was irratable bowel syndrome. Neither needed meds, just have to eat the right foods. In my case, no gluten, the wife has a list of foods she can't eat.

does driving myself 45 minutes to the ER at 4am count , though maybe I was having a heart attack just could not get comfortable , I was in such pain at the last light to turn into the hospital I seriously though about running it no one was coming , light turned green something let loose and gas made it's way past the blockage and I was still a bit sore but felt so much better , waited 30 minutes int he ER waiting room thinking about if I wanted to pay the copay or if I was ok now , felt better went home


was my wife ever mad at me for driving home without getting checked out.
