The Pain

My DBF and I went out to eat Saturday and I had a small cup of tomato bisque soup.  I ate it, he said quickly, and within in 5 monutes or less I was in horrendous pain.  My pouch area was in knots and the pain was almost unbearable.  I went to the restroom and thought I'd probably throw up - but no.  Just the grinding horrific pain.  I couldn't keep my shorts buttoned it hurt so badly.  We left the resturant and I unbuttoned and unzipped my shorts and sat in the truck seat.  He wanted to take me to the hospital but I refused to go. 

Within an hour the pain left and now I feel as if someone punched me, hard, in the belly area.  What the heck was this???

Needless to say, I ate nothing the rest of the day and only liquids yesterday.

Anyone go through this or know what may have happened?

Thanks,
Dianne

Dianne,

I haven't had this happen, but I hope that you have contacted your Dr. Please let us know what they have to say.

Dianne,
Sorry to hear about your horrible episode!!!  I've never experienced this either but I hope it doesn't happen to you again!!!!!!  By the way, I took a look at your new pic you posted on your profile.  You are looking good, girlfriend!!

Hugs,
Donna

Bisque is made with cream.  If you have even a *touch* of lactose intolerance, cream will send you up a wall.  I had this exact same feeling several times after eating food made with cream, and I really wanted to die each and every time.

Yes, I agree with Andrea... it does sound as though you had a classic episode of dumping.  There appears to have been SOMETHING in the bisque that your pouch didn't appreciate.  And pouches don't "mince words" as it were!

Yup, I agree with Andrea.  I have had the same sensations, usually when I eat cream, ice cream, even milk.  I can do a little cheese or yogurt and be okay, but anything too "liquid-y" or higher in fat, and I'm in pretty intense pain.  I try to stay away from most of it, but I do occasionally eat a little tiny bit of ice cream, just enough to remember why I don't.  To me it feels like I've swallowed tacks or razor blades. 

Let us know what you find out, if you called your doctor.  I always love to learn.

Take care.
