Re: Severe Attacks and Fainting       01/08/04 05:41 PM Edit Reply Quote LtDanFan Reged: 12/17/03 Posts: 588 Loc: Ohio Hi Dawn, Fortunately this was one thing my favorite GI Dr. explained to me, (who of course is now retired) It's called a vaso-vagel reaction. When the colon is trying to process the bowel it is taking a lot of blood away from your heart, which causes you to get nauseated, dizzy and to black out or faint. I have had this happen to me. My Dr. told me that if I feel faint when I'm in pain to keep a brown paper bag to breat into to help, it does help keep you from actually blacking out. Hope this was a help cjc -------------------- IBS-D, extreme pain and cramping - GERD - lactose/dairy intolerant, OCD, Fibromyalgia DX: w/ Multiple Sclerosis 3/10 I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me.
