Pain....
I have a question....everytime I drink, sip, or whatever ANY TYPE of liquid, it makes my stomach cramp up. It doesn't matter if it is water, juice, or protein....it really hurts. I see the doctor on Tuesday, but has this happened to anyone else here? I can't stand it, and it's been going on for about a week now. It makes it really hard to get all of my liquids in because I know my stomach will cramp up with every drink. Is this normal?
Do you stop drinking 30 minutes before and 90 minutes after you eat?
The only times that I ever had trouble with drinking was if I tried to drink a sip after I ate. Also I had a vitamin pill stuck one time and I had trouble with my liquids but that went away when I woke up the next morning.
Let us all know what Dr Baker says Tuesday, I am curious as to what is causing this.

Ok, had my appointment with Dr. Baker today...I had to call him Sunday night because I was in soooo much pain. What was happening was I was taking in too much liquid too fast. Instead of sipping 2-3 oz an hour, I was trying to get all my liquids in too fast. I slowed down, and I feel better. Everything went really well at the doctor. He cut my "fishing line" looking suture, and said I was right on track!
