Hi!
I'm an 18 year old female, and I've been having some...trouble, I guess.
I normally wake up around 1:00 with really, really, awful gas pains. When I say awful, I mean nearly unbearable. Last time it happened, I was on the toilet and I blacked out during a particularly bad wave and fell off, scraping my chin and bruising my head on the tile. I'll spend maybe an hour on the toilet with the pains, and then have one solid bowel movement. In about 10-15 minutes, the pain starts up again, this time followed fairly quickly by a wave of diarrhea. In about 20 minutes, another wave will come, and then another 30 minutes later. Usually it will all be over by 3:30-4:00 in the morning, but I can't bring myself to eat anything the next day.
The first time this happened, in mid-January, I chalked it up to eating something bad. In the past three months, it has happened 5 times, twice after eating a Caesar Salad. But, I eat Caesar Salad, or Caesar wraps fairly frequently mostly without anything happening. Besides that, I can't think of anything else similar to the nights that might cause it. I don't think I'm lactose-intolerant, mostly because I have a cheese sandwich almost every day, normally without any trouble. I'd really appreciate any advice, or thoughts on why this is happening.
