Sorry in advance for TMI, it's nothing serious and not GP worthy but I've run out of ideas of what to search for on NHS Direct/patient.co.uk/the internet generally.
I've had this a number of times now. The first I remember is last April, then again in the summer, twice at the beginning of December and then again last night. The first few times I thought it was food poisoning, but it keeps recurring and DH and DS have been fine each time.
I wake up (always about midnight) with that rumbley belly feeling and nausea. I rush to the loo with diarrhea. I feel better for a few minutes then start getting this awful going-to-be-sick feeling in my stomach, like it is in a vice. That escalates and I start getting cold tingles in my hands and arms until it feels like full on pins and needles. I'm then violently sick. The pins and needles disappears as soon as I am sick.
If I drink any water at all, this all happens all over again within 5 minutes. If I don't drink anything, then I continue to feel very sick but not actually be so. It's has if my body refuses to have anything in it at all.
I've looked up symptoms of food poisoning, food intolerance, abdominal migraine, IBS, coelics...everything I can think of but nothing fits. The only common element is roasted garlic, but we eat garlic all the time so unless there is something strange about roasting it then it is unlikely to be that.
Any suggestions of what else it might be? Thanks in advance.
