Funny feeling in tummy same time everyday??

[DancingDelli]

Title pretty much says it all!

For the past week or so I've been getting a funny feeling in my stomach (kind of a cross between diarrhoea cramps and hunger) it's always the same time - around 5pm and lasts about an hour then just fades away by itself.

It's not extremely painful or anything but more of a discomfort that makes me want to just lie in bed.

Any ideas? I'm aware I probably sound barking mad!

Could you be pregnant maybe?

Sounds like IBS or an intolerance, what was the last thing you ate before the symptoms start each day?

Are you taking a supplement on an empty stomach in the early afternoon?

Definitely not pregnant... I have a 6 week old and no romance for a while

Could it be your internal organs all settling back into place after the pregnancy ?

Are you having a strong coffee or something at the same time every day?

Is it a long time since you ate when the pains start?

Anxiety? I start getting more worries in the evenings

Try drinking some milk, that often helps (no milk if you're actually having diarrhoea of course). It could be tension which does peak and mess up the digestive system a bit.

I don't feel anxious and I it's always around 4 hours after eating lunch so not sure if it could be digestion issues? I normally eat soup and bread or something quite vegetable based but nothing out of the ordinary for me.

I had a tummy bug this time last year that only came on in the evenings. Lasted about a week.

I'm not sure what it is but I know if I eat a banana everyday I don't get stomach pains (and I often do). Are you eating enough?

Could be ibs. It might be worth doing a food diary. I've started reacting to chocolate of all things. I had noticed a pattern each time I ate it I was ill.

Are you peeing and drinking more? One of the symptoms of my type 2 diabetes was hunger after eating. Hopefully it's not that (!) and you don't have the other symptoms?

No other symptoms kitty. I'm starting to wonder if it's maybe mild IBS that I've maybe developed? I'll start keeping a food diary and switching up my lunches to see if that helps.

Phew, that's good to hear. I hope you manage to get to the bottom of it anyway.

I had this the past two weeks too - particularly noticeable the first week. Not so much now. I did wonder if it's a symptom of the virus.

I was getting something similar and tried to trace back to what I'd eaten earlier. The only consistent thing was my morning latte. When I stopped that, the symptoms disappeared.

Have you been watching The press conferences at 5pm each day? If so it could be anxiety.

You have a 6 week old? Has your lochia finished? Have you had your 6 week check up with the GP? Ask then. I'd think it was probably pregnancy related somehow.

If I don't eat something mid morning, probably more than one biscuit, more like a roll or piece of toast or cheese and biscs, I get low blood sugar about 4 oclock which is feeling a bit wobbly and starving.

So eat then.

Are you breast feeding ?
