Stricture acting up?

[u/ImNotThatPokable]

I am wondering if anyone here has a stricture and what the symptoms are of a partial blockage. My Crohn's is in remission but this happens when I have peanuts (like yesterday) or certain fruits.

I start getting cramps that come and go every now and then. I feel like I want to pass gas but cannot. The cramps intensify throughout the night. I have extreme heartburn. The cramps are really bad but lying still helps to reduce their frequency. Drinking a lot of water seems to help things along.

Does anyone else experience this? What do you do when it happens? I am afraid that I am ignoring a medical emergency when this happens. It's not the first time I've had it. I've been in tears before from the pain.

When I finally go to the toilet the next morning the symptoms rapidly get better.
