I haven't been writing on the board lately but I have been following a low carb way of life religiously. I am down to 163 pounds, blood pressure down from 120/80 to 120/70 and thought that I was doing good. Until a few weeks ago.

I started having these really bad pains in my stomach. It is hard to describe but the pain was so bad that it shot up my back. I went to the Doctor and she sent me to get a Barium Swallow to see if there was anything wrong with my stomach. When the results came back they showed that I had been having convulsions and at times my stomach wasn't expanding. This is what was causing this horrible pain...My doctor told me that this was caused by diet and the only way now to have it stop is Medication. She put me on Nitroglycerin, a very small pill I put under my tongue. Usually used as a heart medication.

I really hope this helps, but I want to know why this happen to me....Like I said I have been following my low carb way of life or diet, whatever you would like to call it and this happen. It hurts and now I have to be on another medication.

Has this happen to anyone else?

Thank you
