I’m not sure if this is the right spot to post. Can someone tell me what their mals pain was like? Mine is an intense gnawing in my upper mid abdomen sometimes squeezing too. After eating. My velocities are over 400 and I have the hook on Ct scan.

I think people with MALS can experience the pain differently.
The most typical pain I experienced after meals was very intense- mid to upper abdomen- and squeezing. The pain has been called intestinal angina- similar process as cardiac angina. There is not enough blood flow where and when it’s needed.
I had other symptoms too that were not so typical.
Loss of appetite, feeling full fast and nausea.
Are you being treated?
