Hi everyone. Looking for some advice.
Wednesday evening had quite bad stomach pain. Lasted a few hours then eased off.
Thursday fine until I went to bed. Then really bad pain, like low level childbirth, constant level of pain maybe 4 out of 10 then waves up to maybe 8/10. Started being sick. Was sick several times in the night.
By morning still hurting a lot. Sipped drinks but kept throwing up.
Pain level started to reduce over the day. By that night had stopped being sick and with painkillers managed to sleep.
Feeling much better today, tiny bit of pain if the dog bangs into my tummy (she’s huge) have stuck to soup/ porridge/ smoothies.
I am wondering if this is a partial obstruction and if so, what to do about it. The news is saying the hospitals are rammed with covid patients. Is this something I can manage at home with soft diet or am I deluding myself?

. Had a miserable autumn, was pretty ill despite double dose entyvio. The doctor said inflammation still off the charts plus an infection, possible virus and anaemia. Lost a bit of weight quite quickly and I am skinny since the resection surgery in 2017 (the anaesthetic and pain killers made me sick so three weeks of throwing up everything. A crash diet I don’t recommend!). So switched to Stelara, week of flagyl, started steroids again, iron pills 3 times a day and thrush cream because he thought the antibiotics would cause that. Fun times! Any way things settled down after a month or so, just starting to taper steroids now after my second Stelara dose. I have also started ibd-aid diet (basically scd plus oats and probiotics). About a week in had what we think was a partial obstruction despite the diet being mainly puréed everything (for ease of digestion). Ibd nurse said could have been a twisted bowel 
. In normal times I think they would have got me in for a CT scan to see but the whole UK is really struggling to manage covid so the hospitals are rammed and full of covid patients. So he told me to eat soft food and see if it happened again. Blood test was okay and iron levels creeping up (this is a relief as allergic to IV). Things seem to have settled down since.
