(I had severe ulcerative colitis, had my entire colon and rectum removed, an internal reservoir known as a j-pouch constructed so I do not have to wear an ostomy bag. The medications they used either caused or accelerated my neuropathy.)

I hate to say that gastrointestinal issues are the fastest growing disease processes diagnosed today. Whether it is from reduced immune system function from all the toxins in our environment, or all the antibiotics and other drugs we have ingested throughout our lives. . . . human beings seems unable to withstand the changing environment and diet they are now experiencing.

It isn't glamorous or fun, but if you have not had a colonoscopy, it might be time. That is often the first step in diagnosing digestive disorders that can cause cramping and vomiting. But while you are doing that complete blood work-up should be undertaken too, to be sure you don't have another issue contributing to your distress.
