I sometimes experience stomach pain after eating a meal (usually breakfast). What happens typically is that I wake-up and eat a breakfast (sometimes leftovers from the previous nights, sometimes cereal). Then I’m out the door to catch the bus to go to school/work. It takes me about 1.5 hours to reach my destination, and I usually have to transfer several times. For the first part of my trip, I have a 45 minute bus ride where I usually nap. Upon waking up at the end of the ride, I usually experience intense stomach pain. I usually proceed to the nearest gas station to use their washroom, or try to suck it up for another 30 minutes and use the washroom at school/work. My poop is always in the form of diarrhea. After I am done in the washroom, the pain immediately goes away.
Every so often, I also experience stomach pain after eating other meals (lunch, dinner) such as from Cactus Club, Macdonald's, Earls… The same situation happens. I would finish the meal, participate in some sort of activity for 30 minutes or so (walking around the mall, driving home, watching a movie) and then I would suddenly experience sharp stomach pain and end up running to the nearest washroom.
At first I thought it could have been the food I have ate. I have asked my friends/family whom I had share the meal with and they did not have any problems with it. I then thought maybe it is because my stomach disagrees with certain types of food, but I have yet to see a pattern. It seems that I can get stomach pain from just about anything I eat. The only pattern I have noticed is that I only get these stomach pains when I am not in the comfort of my own home. This leads me to believe that I have somehow manifested my pain physiologically and turned it into reality? My fear of having stomach pain in public when a washroom is not convenient has created my stomach issues? Is this a possibility, or is my stomach just really moody?
I am a 24 year old male that is in relatively healthy physical condition. Although I do have a slight belly, I exercise at least twice a week. I believe my diet is relatively healthy, but I do eat more meats then vegetables and fruits. I do not drink any milk as it gives me gas, but I do take calcium pills to make up for it.
