I don't know if you have found an answer to this or not but I was doing
a search of my last name which is also Kailing and I found this. I have
Crohn's disease which can cause diahrea and pain and distention in the
abdominal area. Sometimes it can be very very painful and if not
treated then you can get very very ill and possibly die. Please let me
know if you have found anything out. Jessica L. Kailing
