Tummy pain

How quickly after a meal do you get tummy pain?

  1. For me I get tummy pain almost immediately if I eat a trigger food. Then I am stuck dealing with all the symptoms like cramping, diarrhea, painful gas etc. For the most part however, I only get minor pain during a bowel movement. -Elizabeth (team member)

    1. I usually feel gurgles and early cramps before I even finish my meal. Cramps will usually persist until I use the bathroom. Best to take precautions ahead of time! Wishing you a gentle day ~ Sawyer (irritablebowelsyndrome.net team)
