Pain due to food

[Stephy Chelle]

So I started florastar (probiotic) 2 days ago but have been on all my other meds for 2 weeks now. Hyoscyamine for pain and cramping. Then I take something to help me sleep at night and a hiatal hernia medication. So after I ate dinner last night....a grilled (lean beef) burger....to my surprise I didn't have to go to the bathroom! YEA!! I was so happy about that. We ate at 6:00. I didn't eat anything else the rest of the night. I took my meds at 8:30, in bed by 9:00. I woke up at 11:00 with what I call charlie horse cramps in my abdomen. PAINFUL! I have experienced that kind of cramping before but it had been awhile. I was doubled over crying out in pain. It would let up and cramp up again as I was drifting back to sleep. For 2 hours that went on. Finally I needed the restroom and had a bowel movement. Went back to bed had a couple more cramps then fell asleep. I'm hurting this morning but it's what I call my "normal" base pain. I think I would almost rather need a bathroom right away instead of holding it in and hurting that bad later. Last night was NOT fun. Has anyone else experienced anything like that???

Stephy this is all very familiar. Im afraid to go out to dinner as the last time i ate my meal and within ten minutes ,here we go. After BM i had bad cramping pain for about 20 minutes and eventually had to leave the party i was with . No sleep and really frustrated. I had been advised that previous day to try and get my body into an alkaline state , so i went to the health store and I was given wheat grass tablets. I blame these for that episode but generally within two hours of eating i will get continuous pain. I get up and dressed and go for a walk when i can . It helps and gives my partner peace to sleep. Ive been trying to eliminate foods now for some weeks and although there are some red flags such as greasey foods ,red meat ,curries, coffee and anything else with a flavour I have found a reaction to almost all food. I just try to eat very small meals.
Hope you have a better day today and get some rest.

Red meat is quite hard to digest. Maybe you should stick to easier to digest foods until you are feeling better..
