I’m 26 weeks pregnant and I have had my large intestine removed due to ulcerative colitis, which is no longer active. For the past week I’ve had bad upper abdominal pain which goes to my back, it comes in waves but at least once every half an hour. Doing absolutely anything makes it worse - walking, cooking, even just cleaning bits around the house. It feels like someone has kicked my insides with a football boot and the aching just prolongs. I went to the doctor who said it’s gastritis but because my UC was misdiagnosed for a year before I had an emergency operation, I’m always a bit hesitant to believe GPs, especially as I’ve had three bouts of heavy rectal bleeding with blood clots in it in the past three months.
Would IBU to get a second opinion or am I just being a hypochondriac? Can anyone else with gastritis tell me if this is what it sounds like?

To think my GP has misdiagnosed me and it’s not gastritis?
