Gastro was horrible. When the astonishingly painful cramps hit you you didn’t know which way the ‘projectiles’ were evacuating from until the very last second.
Unfortunately the toilet in my house at that time was in a separate room as the sink and bath. Which meant if I needed to throw up I’d either have to do it in the horrible diarrhea covered toilet or just throw up on the floor.
Decisions decisions.
On the really bad episodes I would just sit in the bath for hours on end so I could turn the shower on to wash the puke and/or shit away.
Fortunately I haven’t had an episode in twenty years now.

What was causing it?

Cheap or processed red meat.
Steaks, etc, are fine but stuff like cheap burgers or the packaged sliced meat from supermarkets are a no no.
The tricky thing was I could have a cheap burger every day for a week and it would be ok. Or just one the next week and it felt like the world was falling out of my arsehole and mouth.
In the end my doctor instructed me to go on a diet to eliminate different foods and drinks. A month with no caffeine, a month with no fried food, a month with no alcohol, etc etc. It was only when I got to the month of no red meat that it all stopped.
I can still eat red meat but it needs to be good stuff. No mince, no ‘beef’ pizzas and so on.
