Any ideas why this would happen. I went to harvester about 5 days ago I had bbq ribs. Within 15 mins of eating I had to kerp rushing to the loo a few times

Just mow I had pasta woth tomato based sauce. And the same happend again within 15 mins im rushing to the loo several time.

I was woundering if I may have developed an intorence to tomato's or something.

Gastro colic reflex. It happens from time to time in lots of people, but if it becomes a regular occurrence it could be linked to ibs or even some medications.
However, it can be induced by large portions, very fatty meals (looking at you Domino’s Pizza!) or even by drinking a large cold drink quite quickly, so the bbq ribs definitely could have been the issue rather than tomato in that instance. Did you have garlic bread or any cheese on your pasta, or a large cold drink? Was it a large meal?
it doesn’t necessarily indicate intolerance is what I mean, but maybe keep a food diary if it keeps happening.

Ah it just seemed odd with how fast it happend after the meal and I have had it lots of time before.

Then exactly the same with the tomato pasta meal.

The pasta meal was a 400g micro wave meal. I didn't eat it all though.

High fat, salt or chilli do that to me. Also a big meal after an intermittent fast.

Can you ask for a coeliac blood test? My levels were low too, and I suffered gastro issues.
