I'm a bit confused about exactly what spasms are and how they feel. I’m pretty sure I get them. Every now and then I feel my guts flutter. Sometimes this seems quite severe, although it isn't painful as such and accompanied by the feeling of gas either during or shortly afterwards. I’m just wondering if it isn't spasms at all and I’m getting mixed up with gas I do get quite bad pain when I have severely trapped gas. I thought spasms were supposed to be painful?
That’s what I have always understood also, that the spasms will actually cause the pain whether they are too slow or too fast. I know from experience that the fluttering sensation is trapped gas that will make your intestines move as the gas is released through. My experience has always been if I'm fluttering a lot, I make sure I am close to the bathroom. I feel spasms or fluttering too, but my spasms feel like I’m full of stuff.
