I could not believe the sweating ~ It was terrible. I would sit there and strip in the bathroom at home ~ fanning myself... and feeling so sick to my stomach that I didn't know which end was going to be worse ~ so I always had a trash can ready too.
I also always felt pain afterward too. Not as intense but sore like the worse ab workout you ever had ~ only deep inside. And it hurt for days afterward. Making you feel... hesitant to eat because you could still feel the pain of the attack.
I may have a little gas or a little bloat (especially if there is some trace dairy in something I eat ~ hate that) or of I eat a bit too much of something ~ or too much fat... but the post Janey had and what I added is what I call an attack.
I also swing sometimes to constipation. Then I may not be able to go for a week or more. I swell up like I'm 8 months pregnant ~ I have terrible pain that lasts until I can go... and sometimes gas with that too. Not fun at all.
Luckily I am stable and don't have to deal with either one very often.
