I have a sneaking suspicion that lactose intolerance runs in the family, but no real proof. So if you are consuming any dairy (other than well-aged yoghurt), STOP. Maybe it'll help.
If it is stomach related rather than intestine-related, be aware that eating after dinner WILL cause heartburn, gassiness, and bloating all night for those who are prone to it. Sadly, this also runs in the family. (Maalox helps, if taken in large enough quantities.) Tomatoes are evil for people with acid-y tummies. So is red wine. A glass of chianti with lasagna, while it might taste very good, will feel very horrible later that night.
In conclusion, quit eating anything, and maybe you'll be okay!
I was pretty sure it was IBS. You can read the symptoms here: http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/ibs_ez/index.htm
However, I also have a bad Urinary Tract Infection (I was passing blood clots), and the doctor seemed to think that part of my abdominal pain was actually my kidneys and bladder not my bowel. Although that doesn't explain the bloating etc. to me.
The last time I had the same pain (Christmas Day) I also had a UTI, so maybe he's right. I don't understand how I could develop a UTI so quickly when I just stopped taking the antibiotics for my foot on Friday.
"The whole concern of doctrine and its teaching must be directed to the love that never ends. Whether something is proposed for belief, for hope or for action, the love of our Lord must always be made accessible, so that anyone can see that all the works of perfect Christian virtue spring from love and have no other objective than to arrive at love." -- The Roman Catechism (aka Catechism of the Council of Trent)

Round Two tonight. I can't do this, I need sleep!
ReplyDeleteWhat, exactly, is it doing? Do I want to know?

It's because the evil drug companies put the bacteria for UTIs in with their antibiotics. Antibiotic-resistant bacterium, that is.
ReplyDeleteActually... Maybe you got some tainted antibiotics. That just occurred to me.
Well, different antibiotics work on different bacteria, that's all.
