In so much pain... gas pains feel like labor pains above belly button

It could be gas pains/cramping.  You have eaten a few things that are known to cause digestive upset.

The calcium chews have sugar alcohols, the chicken nuggets with the flour on them...

Have you gotten the gas/rumbling after eating things that are relatively innocuous?  Plain meat, lactose-free items?

Pain around the belly button that is very very intense could be a bowel obstruction.  It could theoretically get obstructed, cause pain, then correct itself.

But, because of the rumbling, I am more prone to thinking it is gas and diet related.  Does passing gas relieve some of the pain?  Usually bowel obstruction is associated with a lack of bowel sounds, not increased bowel sounds.  Another symptom associated with it would be nausea/vomitting.

Careful with chicken nuggets!!! I had the worst gas with McD's nuggets.  OMG, they r the devil.  Something in their binders plays havoc with my insides.

Hope you feel better soon.  If not, go to ER.

Me TOO!!  But I can eat their chicken selects.  Go figure.  So much is trial and error.

who woulda thought innocent chicken could be so painful??

When I eat something bad for me this is exactly what i feel like. I am pretty sure not a bowel obstruction.. if you are able to pass gas you should be fine. i know if i do not eat i get this and then to put fried on top of that.... it is serious trouble for me.... i hope you feel better soon... try eatting a coupld of eggs scrambled... So sorry you feel bad
