I am pretty sure the butter i had yesterday was off, and ended up with the worse cramps ever, is it normal to get such bad stomach cramps after eating something dodgy? i was sick too, and today i feel like someone has kicked me in the stomach about 20 times.

It was awful

Eek. Poor thing

I had similar a few weeks ago, after eating some undercooked kidney beans I think. It was agony all night, felt sick but wasn't - just was surprised at the pain!

I hope you feel better soon.

i had this the other night
was AWFUL, and yes, felt like labour pains. Ended in diarrohea for me
it was something I ate I'm sure, but I don'tknow what. am wondering if it was the sorbitol in the new kind of nurofen I took for my period pains and headaches. Totally grim

The thing is, there is nothing really to take is there for this type of thing.I feel ok now though, just tender.

It was my own fault really, as i have been keeping the butter in the cupboard to keep it soft, and it must have gone off. I only had a piece of toast..

I thought that once i had been sick it would wear off but it didn't, feels like i have done 1000 sit ups today lol.

Can't believe how much it felt like labour though, except with labour at least there is a nice ending to the pain

I had this pain when i ate butter kept soft in the cupboard..blamed it all the time until i was hospitalised with the pain (cause I was 37 weeks pregnant)..the pain was excrutiating and worse than labour pains but I could tell they were not labour pains...Turns out it was Gall bladder flare ups!!!!!...probably from the fat in the butter!!!!.still 3 years later dread it happening again. HTH

Poor pucca, have a good rest today.

MrsJohn is there ibuprofen in the neurofen? It can irritate your stomach lining and cause pain.

Weegiemum · 03/06/2008 09:05

nurofen is a propietry brand of ibuprofen. It can certainly irritate your stomach.

MrsJohnCusack · 03/06/2008 11:11

nurofen has never bothered me before, but this was a differnt capsule thingy that I've not had before - might be something to do with that. Yuk, it was awful

hope you are feeling better pucca
