my twisted gut started as a sever stomach ache and quickly progressed to being an extremely serious illness. i was taken to hospital having gone to the gp for advise. once at hospital i deteriorated fast. i was hot but wasn't running a temperatyre, the bed was too soft, even though it was in fact, rock hard and the pain moved from side to side in back and came round to my abdomen. i had xrays. which showed nothing - not surprising since the machine wasn't working! drs examined me, asked my family if i was anorexic, they were given short sharp shift by my mother. i was given an enema and discharged - to be rushed straight back by another ambulance. by now i was in dire straits, literally nothing would stay down and things that had been going down so far, reappeared as faeces via me being sick! i was tubed and left for a few days, unbelievable, but true! then at last, someone thought to re xray me, and even though i needed liquid in me, the radiologist timed it perfectly, knowing she had 15 seconds max before i was sick with the water i had been given. it was enough, the xray showed the blockage up. it was action stations, though unfortunately i still wasn't operated on straight away as they thought as i had been ill for nearly a fortnight i wouldn't be alive in 30 mins, i was so i had the op. im still here 23 years on, with four kids, happy and healthy :)
