OK, I am a D, and having a reeeeally rough time of it, so much more D than normal. I had a bad attack Saturday that woke me up at 6:30 in the morning and lasted until around 9:00. Thing is, though, it was really only (haha! "only"!) pain. It felt kind of like a cross between menstrual cramps and horrid D cramping, only about a million times worse, and came over me in a "wave" kinda like every 10 or so minutes. But, I didn't have D. I did have a couple BMs, but they were very normal, and I think I mainly had them because (a) I was sitting on the toilet anyway, and (b) the cramps/spasms/whatever "encouraged" them to evacuate. My body is not shy about having D -- I could take 10 Imodium and still have a D attack two hours later (and I hadn't taken any more pills than normal) -- so I don't think it was a D attack. It wasn't gas or trapped gas, either. I kind of wonder if it was menstrual-related because I should be getting my period soon.
Anyway, it was really strange! Plus a miserable way to start the holiday weekend! I was pretty much OK the rest of the day, though still somewhat in pain. Does this happen to you guys?
