Oh My Aching Belly!

[SGWhiskers]

Hubby was out of town this week, so I ate up the leftovers and then moved on to rice chex, soy milk, and orange juice exclusively for the past 3 days. Tonight, I fixed us a mashed potato dish with onions, green beans, lima beans, corn, and carrots. After 3 bites, my belly got sharp pains under my diaphram for 3 minutes. I don't even get belly pain from gluten, milk, or eggs which I'm either allergic to or intolerant of.

What do your other food intolerances feel like?

OK, here goes the next few bites. I'm still hungry for dinner.

I have a diagnosis of IBS, gastritis, and peripheral neuropathy, working on getting a celiac dx. With that said, i have three general types of 'belly pain" that I am still figuring out what causes them. I have the upper under rib cage sharp pain, like you described, which is often followed within 8 hrs by a weird burning nausea, not the throw up kind, but uncomfortable (caused by wine, sometimes eggs, coffee). I think that's mostly the gastritis flaring up. I also have a burning sensation between the ribs and the belly button going horizontally that's not my transverse colon (too high up) - that is the sensation I get when I eat gluten. I also have bloating, cramping, sometimes sharp pain lower down, right above the belly button all the way into the pelvis, which is IBS symptoms. which I get when i eat the wrong combo of foods, fruit with anything, and at this point, anything raw. Hope this helps!

Isn't that a lot of starch and sugar? I don't see any protein in what you ate. That would give me an upset stomach too and all sorts of other nasty problems.
