Before I had even heard of IBS, I knew something was terribly wrong with me when I almost passed out from the pain caused by the bridesmaid dress I was wearing in my best friend's wedding. It was tight around the waist but not too small on me, but WOW did it hurt like crazy. The pain went all the way up my back and around my body -- really the worst pain attack I've ever had, I think. I couldn't eat or dance at the wedding, and made several trips to the bathroom trying to relieve myself, but I could only tinkle. It was horrible. I had my friend unzip my dress in the cab ride home and walked through the Hilton with my dress unzipped and my shawl wrapped around me. We got up to our hotel room and found the key card didn't work. I literally slid down the door, collapsed on the floor, and started bawling. Thankfully my friend went down and got a new key. I couldn't even wash my face that night or take out the 2348098234 bobby pins. I slipped out of the dress and passed out. My whole abdomen ached for a good 2 days. I know now that it was caused by the tight dress, the fried appetizers, and all the champage. So yes ... long answer to your short question ... I do get pain from tight-waisted things. Like the other girls on this board I mostly wear very low rise jeans (sometimes too low -- have you ever tried to sit on a barstool with low jeans and a normal length shirt? It's IMPOSSIBLE not to flash some butt cleavage!). Anything around my waist for too long makes me achy, but I rarely get D anymore since being on the diet. I also think that's probably why my tummy often hurts in church -- I usually wear waist-height skirts and in the winter, pantyhose. Perhaps I need to look into dresses and knee-highs!
Anyway sorry for the rant. I was a bad girl tonight and had a big slice of pizza -- cross your fingers that I make it through the night without D!
Hope you feel better soon,
