Typically I have an attack of gripping Abdomen pains with back ache and pains down inner thighs and into feet. Much like early labour or bad period pains.

It tends to come on before or after a bowel movement or after eating.

I also have problems with mornings. I wake up feeling a bit rough but within about half an hour I feel nauseous , faint and woozy.

Sitting down in a low seat is uncomfortable for me as I feel pressure on that lower abdomen area. As if there is something in that is cutting off the blood supply. So if I do sit for long I feel as if I am going to faint. This makes driving very hard.

I have a lot of wind in bowel and tummy area. Also in odd places: shoulder blades, neck ....

I have had to modify my life so much. I can't eat wheat or dairy. I can't sleep lying down (I sleep propped up).

I tend to feel better for warm compresses on lower abdo and moving about and stretching.

I'm feeling pretty ruff atm, must be all those tests.

The only thing is that the 'attacks' as I call them don't last forever, generally for about 2
hours.

Thanks for asking Barb, hope that answers your question.
