ummm.. dont know i dont get sick much.. but most days, as soon as i
eat, i have to pass a stool (loose mostly) i think it is like irritable
bowel syndrome, but i always wonder how my stomach can be upset that
soon.. doesnt the food atleast need to reach there :) sometimes i have
to run to the restroom right at the end of the meal.. i cant eat oily
/spicy food.. but by the next meal i am fine..
but i havent had the other pains/ sickness that you have mentioned.. i
guess each person has a different manifestation..
