Not sure what made me cramp. Probably too much fat (mayo for lunch with my tuna sandwich and on my arti for dinner). I also had a chicken breast with no skin for dinner so nothing there , no stress involved. I took one equalactin, a beano & a 1/2 valium when the cramps hit & had a glass of citrucil before dinner. I continued to have 3 hrs of cramping but no "D". No D is nice but if I could choose, I'd choose NO PAIN! I seem to be having more attacks & C, which means longer cramp sessions, since starting the additional soluable fiber. I'm glad I know more of which foods to watch out for but for me, the add'l soluable fibre plugs me up and any insoluable (along with fats) gives me attacks. You should take a picture of your picket fence flag and post it. I'm still craftin away. I'll just have to keep trying different things till I come up with something that works. I think my adhesions play a major part in being blocked, like with rice. Every stinking time I have rice (left over rice tends to get harder) I get completely blocked and end up vomiting from pain after 3-6 hrs.
