A bit after eating (usually dinner with beano & sometimes lactase) I start feeling gassiness & mild cramping. I pop some Gas X I pray they will go away. The cramps get closer together & stronger. After a while I do "the walk" (you all know what that is like) to the bathroom, grabbing a magazine or two on the way. I sit on the potty for anywhere from 2-6 hrs because every cramp feels like I'm going to have diahrrea. Sometimes the D starts in a few hours & I go 4-5 x before it all comes out. Other times (especially with rice for some reason with me seems to block me) I cramp for 4-6 hours. I feel a big bulge right where my colon becomes the rectum, the turn, & I know it's the worst attack. The pain becomes almost unbearable & I start shaking all over & my heart is beating hard. After a while I vomit a few times, then the D comes out. The next day my stomach is sore to the touch. & I have to eat soft gentle foods for about a week.
