spent yesterday evening in the er

for two weeks+ i've had thin, stringy-looking ribbon-like stools that are very soft & lots of loud abdominal noises.

then yesterday afternoon i had a sudden intense abdominal cramp or spasm followed by wave-like pains of less intensity below and to the right of my navel & IN my navel as well as nausea and pain when i press on my abdomen.

i went to the er after work. the bloodwork, urinalysis and my electrolytes were all a-ok. x-ray showed a "definite slow-down" in my gut in that area but the cat scan was a-ok so it was diagnosed as being "inflamation" and i was sent on my merry way with a single dose of and a script for bentyl which is an anti-spasmodic. just so's you know...
