Guest over a year ago

HI
Im 29 and had this happen to me for 3 years. I had everything done to me from a endoscopy to a colonoscopy. And yet nothing. The one thing i will add its that while im going thru the episode i drink lots of Gatorate to keep me from passing out.

This can also happen when your body takes in too much fiber that it's not use to in a 1-3 day time period.

I get real bad stomach cramps along with cold sweats And dizziness Off and on for 3 years . One day I went out with a friend and just had stomach pain off and on thought maybe my ulcers were acting up as we were at a restaurant I felt dizzy and cold sweats along with diahrea . Ambulance took me to hospital and found I had a blockage bowel. I would go to get it checked if it happened . Dr said if I get these symptoms again go to ER immedietky

I heard similar thing. The doctor seemed sure it was a vaso vagal response.

I really really hate this. If I eat too much before bed. Or if my body has a hard time passing poop.

Usually it seems like constipation with no strength to even push it out.

Then right after, most of the time it all comes out in a hurry sometimes diarrhea.

Literally you feel like your going to die. Dripping with sweat. Clammy skin. No strength. I shudder thinking about it.

Don't wish this upon my worst enemy.

I just experienced my second episode in 6 months. Same symptoms as you and a history of stomach problems. Have you found any answers?

Over the last 10 or so years, I've had middle of the night episodes where I will have terrible cramps, basically waves of cramps that feel like my intestines rolling over and pressure towards my rectum. I believe this to be gas as eventually I am able to fart and I will have a hard stool come out then the waves of cramps are each followed by waves of severe diarrhea.

Along with the cramping I will have cold sweats and occasionally feel light headed. Recently I've also thrown up when this occurs.

I have never seen a doctor. My best description is a 30 minute flu, and it's the worst flu ever, but then I'm fine other than being sore and exhausted and it always happens overnight.

Recently it has started occuring several times a year as opposed to several years in between episodes.

I believe it to be food related as the first few times were on road trips when I was eating lots of fast food. I've tried to track what specifically causes it. I thought perhaps dairy, but tonight I didn't have any. For me the common thread seems to be generally not eating healthy leading up to it.

I have read about abdominal migraines and IBD. I don't know that this really fits the symptoms, but it was interesting to see I'm not alone.

Hi. I’ve just had the worst episode of this so far... 45mins of pain, freezing cold sweats, highpitched ringing in one ear and so dizzy I kind of passed out 1-2 times whilst slumped against the wall. Then I felt what I call ‘the flip’ in my stomach and torrents of diarreah and now all is fine.

I’ve had this for approximately 15 years and it used to be only once or twice a year. Recent 3-4 years it’s been once or twice a month and has started hitting me whilst I’m out during the day or in the evening. I have been to the doctors constantly for the last 10 years and have had every test and examination known to man... nothing shows up at all.

My theory is that there must be a slight kink or narrow section in the lower working is the bowel and intensities, so as my body gets the initial warning call to go to the toilet the waste then gets stuck at this section. The build up is what causes the pain which in turn causes a reaction similar to shock. After the body puts itself into full shutdown mode (sometimes even needing to black out) which relaxes all the internal workings and then everything can move through the section and out of the body.

Unfortunately I’ve not managed to get a diagnosis and as my episodes seem to be getting worse and more frequent I would be very very happy if someone in this forum had a diagnosis so that I could suggest to my doctor to check.

Yes! I completely feel a little relieved I'm not the only one. Trying to explain it.. I can't even. I feel like death when it happens. But same with the not eating right part. But even when I do I notice any kind of stress is a trigger for me and it always. Happens in the middle of the night. It's so dang exhausting.

I went trough a similar episode last night. I took 2 Nyquil for my flu at 8pm and headed to bed around 9pm. I awoke at 11:30 feeling groggy but with cramps and within seconds I was sweating bullets and my whole body was tingling. I was sitting on the toilet passing liquid stool I honestly felt as if I was dying. Safe to say I will never take NyQuil again in case it was caused by an allergic reaction. My Mother had a similar reaction to scallops and nearly died. Scary stuff!!

Hello....I have had the same thing happened to me for many years now. This morning I got up and was fine. An hour later, I had stomach cramps, diarhhea and felt like passing out. Good thing my bed was close to the toilet. I kept going back and forth. It got to be really bad, I thought if I get up to get my cell phone, I will pass out for sure. I was seating so much too. It lasted about 20 min. Once it passed, I got up to get coconut water, it has electrolytes. I went back to bed and rested. I was so exhausted. I am still trying to figure out what caused it. A week ago, I finished a 30-day JUICING, 80% vegs 20% fruits. I felt so good.The day before I started juicing, I had a diverticulitis attack. Last week, after my 30 day juicing, for 3 days I had pureed food to start back slowly adding solids. 3 days later, my diverticulitis flared up. It lasted 8 hrs. So I was good on the weekend. Last night, I had a small meal of salmon, steamed vegs and small green salad. I still doing 1 JUICE a day. Also during the day, I added fiber supplements, prune juice and probiotics. I dont want to be constipated as it will make it worse for the diverticulitis. Since last October, I have had 2 CT and I never heard back from the doctor. I am wondering if it could be too much fiber added too soon! Thanks for posting here, I see that I am not the only one with this.
