Well I had an episode over the weekend and it was so painful. Does this sound familiar to anyone....
The first stage is going to the toilet feeling absolutely normal.
After the first round of "matter release" about 2.lbs of it, I know by this point that it's going to get worse.
The second round is the killer.
I have to take all my cloths off as the sweating is profuse from all over my body apart from legs and hyper ventilating makes me dizzy. I then have another matter release of another 2.lbs+ and the vomiting then kicks in as my body is trying to get rid of the causes of abdominal pain. It's not so much as Diarrhoea but more of a mud consistency which sinks and piles out the top of the water. (I know this isn't pleasant to read but we've all been there).
I have to flush about 3 times with each flush it's piled out of the water. The pain,vomiting,sweating and excretion happens all at the same time and last for about 30-1 hour. After about 10 mins rest when all is done I fell completely normal again, apart from the stomach ache from being sick.
I used to get this about 3 times a year but now only once a year. It started when I was about 14 and now I'm 40.
If this rings bells with anyone I would like to know if this is IBS as the doc says it's just a 24 hour bug.
