Hi Ingegerd, I'm getting a little tangental here, but thank you for your reply to an earlier post. I had never heard of MALS before and have been reading about it. It does fit the pattern of what I experience to some degree - eating and activity, particularly bending over type things, exacerbate my pain. Not immediate, i.e. when I am doing it, but later on. I've always found this interesting but never found anything else ever talking about a relationship.

One thing I don't have however is vomiting. I have nausea, but don't vomit. It seems that vomiting is listed as a classic symptom with MALS (as well as mesenteric ischemia). This leads me to think (and I know my Dr. will think 🙂 ) that this couldn't be my problem. Did you have vomiting?
