Has anyone experienced this?

I have had about 6 episodes over the past year where I've been in a lot of pain after eating - much worse than Labour pain! Sometimes I've been sick, sometimes I haven't. It always lasts a full 12 hours, usually right the way through the night. It begins as feeling sick, really tired and I can't seem to be able to string a sentence together, it completely wipes me out. Then the pain starts, which is like intense and constant cramps around my stomach and back. It feels like I'm wearing a tight belt around my rib cage. I can't pin it down to a particular food I'm eating. I've had scans on my stomach and blood tests which have came back all clear. Considering asking to have bowel checked next.

Before I had my child I'd never experienced anything like this.

Has anyone suffered anything similar, and what was it?

Gallstones ?
Gall Bladder?

Gallstones?

Also a histamine reaction can feel similar for me?
Are the foods high fat?

Or high histamine, blue cheese any red wine?

Maybe worth keeping a food journal so if and what it happens again you can start to see if it's a particular food or drink.

Abdominal migraines?

ds gets them and sumatriptan is the only thing that seems to help.

Thanks for your replies :-)

@holierthanthou73 I was convinced it was gall stones,but nothing was picked up when I had a scan.

@failedmydog potentially high fat foods... fish and cheese etc.
