Hi. I have, whatI would call, minor stomach upsets fairly regularly, around once a fortnight. The reason for writing is that I have a major upset rarely, once every 6 months to 18 months. The pattern is that it starts off with a low grade pain normally within 30 mins of eating. As soon as I get this feeling I know what it is going to develop into. The pain grows and ends with me ‘ emptying out’ with watery diarrhoea. By the end stage the pain is so great that I feel faint and often vomit. I have had theses episodes from early childhood ( I am now 69). My Mother also had the same. I have never had them medically investigated. They now seem to be getting more intense and I am frightened that I will, if on my own, collapse. Incidentally i have always taken Kaolin & Morphine liquid when I have an episode. This appears to now be an ancient medication and is hard to get.
Does any have similar and have any idea what causes and can prevent them or how to better deal with them. I have never found a pattern to them e.g. food type, eating too fast, time of day. Etc.
