A member asked:
I have ibs. i'd like to ask why do i get cramping sometimes when i eat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very common.: Cramping after eating is a common symptom, particularly among those with ibs. It can be intermittent, but often responds to increasing the amount of fiber in the diet. I would try this first. If a trial of increased fiber does not help, and your problem is persistent, then i would see your doctor for further discussion and treatment
