Curry and Bowel Pain - Is There a Connection?

Have you ever had bowel pain as a sensation that it is all swollen?

Last night I ate rice with a lot of curry. Is it the curry that gave me pain like cramps all day long?

I had to do my irrigation in 3 parts because the water did not want to go in. I really felt that my bowel was very swollen.

It's not the first time it has happened to me, but this time I wrote what I ate to see if next time it happens again.

Thank you for your help.

Hello Danielle. Thanks for your post, which illustrates graphically what can go wrong when we eat food that has unwanted side effects.

I have long-since given up eating spicy food (including curry) because it has similar effects to that which you describe. 

Best wishes

Thank you Bill, it's complicated to explain how we feel pain from one part of our body but from the inside, it helps that you understood the way I did explain.

Regards & have a great day

Wow, Danielle, hope the effects from the curry are gone now but would certainly stay away from it! I don't eat rice or curry so not sure the effects but now I know to not eat it if I get a whim!

Good to see you on here! It has been a while!

Good morning pup,

Do you eat white rice? Or no rice at all? If so, what does the rice do to you, please?

I know I do not write very often. I work full time :(:(

Have a great day :(

My internal swelling is chronic. I have Crohn's Disease. I am learning to take turmeric tablets for swelling. I take 2. If it is really bad, I do that every 6 hours for one day. Try that if you get extreme bloating or swelling.

Thank you, Jennie!
