Question:
Feel awful-tummy bug/trapped wind?
Since monday afternoon I have been feeling quite sick with cramp type feelings in my upper stomach, like i have eaten someting dodgy. On monday, I had pasta with apple and onions in it and thought maybe it was the onions. The lower part of my stomach is very sore when i press down, like trapped wind. I have hardly eaten anything since monday afterrnoon. What could it be and how can i make it go? I start a new job next week and dont want to be ill. its getting better, but I thought it might have gone by now. I cant walk upright I have to bend over a bit-what is it? thankyou

Answers:
I had similar symptoms once when I had taken a laxative. Really crampy feelings that were similar to period pain. They were fairly mild for about a week. I went to the docs and he diagnosed Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Gave me some anti spasm drugs and it calmed down in a few days. Occasionally I still get flare ups but now it tends to be when I am feeling stressed. Give it a few more days, just to check it's not a bug and then see your GP. Have you tried drinking loads of fizzy pop-might get rid of the trapped wind.
