I am just wondering if anyone else has excruciating pain that makes them actually faint?I find that if I eat too much garlic (I can tolerate some, but rarely I misjudge and overdo the amount and so suffer the consequences) at my evening meal, I wake up at about 2am with stomach cramps and feeling nauseated. Almost like bad indigestion.I get to a stage where I know I have to go and sit on the toilet.Once I'm there, the cramping pains get so bad that I go weak as water, break out in a cold sweat all over my body, and then actually pass out. I do somehow manage to remain propped on the loo, though.Once I pass a bowel motion (usually a normal one) I am instantly ok again.My husband tells me at those times I turn the most awful gray colour.Obviously I avoid a lot of garlic, but I do love it. If I cook the meal myself I can limit the amount I put in, but now and then when eating out, the amount is obviously just over what I can tolerate and this happens.It has been happening to me on and off for many years and has been put down to ibs. It would make me feel a little better if I knew other people suffered this particular problem, to
h, and it doesn't seem to happen if I eat garlic earlier in the day, only at night time.Janne
