Tired and Emotional

Been in more pain than usual and yesterday spent most of the day cramping and running to the toilet. I have BAD/ BAM which as I have mentioned before nobody outside of this page seems to know what it is. I have stopped taking the pills as I find them hard to take/ they make me wretch and I hadn't noticed much difference. ( I am considering crushing them up etc but I just don't feel they are working) I currently feel nauseous, still cramping, have only had a small breakfast so far today and am utterly depleted, famished. Cooking a roast dinner knowing that I will probably have bad times to follow. Have been given more rehydration sachets from the doctor, but all of this is so much more difficult with conversations over the phone ( due to our current situation which is exacerbating everything) I keep feeling I am going to faint or collapse, and am just trying to drink fluids as much as possible. Does anyone know if there is a contact number specifically for BAM or any kind of help? I am desperate for help. Feeling nauseous all teh time. Am on other pills for the health issues so it's very difficult. Stomach as distended as ever and feels continually painful. This is too much..

This sounds so awful for you! Are you in the UK? BAMUK are a great charity so I've heard. I've been told a very low fat diet really helps with this. Hope you feel well asap!

Hello, gosh I am so sorry for your pain and I know exactly how you feel. I wonder if you have tried or taken Buscopan? It certainly helped me with the cramps and I can tell you, mine sent me to A&E screaming with pain! I had a huge stomach and the runs. I felt wretched for a whole week. This is three weeks ago and I am slowly recovering. I hardly take any pain killers, no Buscopan and loads and loads of water which has regulated my bowels enormously. I feel for you and it will pass, but hydration is so important. Get well soon. X

sorry to hear of the pain you have experienced. I have taken buscopan in the past but possibly not enough to feel a difference. Will look for some, thank you.
